Previously
Good news: Adam Fantilli and hometown boy Zach Werenski each continued their hot streak with a goal in Detroit on Saturday afternoon.
Also good news: The Jackets earned another road point on their road trip.
Bad news: The Jackets coughed up a two-goal third period lead before losing in overtime. They’re collecting enough points to stay in the crowded mix that is the Eastern Conference playoff race, but they’re giving too many extra points to other teams in the conference.
Dean Evason and the players are technically correct when they say the blown leads happen in different ways, but…. at some point excuses are like a**holes. We all have them and they all stink. Good teams find ways to win no matter what.
