What happened: The Blue Jackets squandered leads of 2 – 0 and 3 – 1, snatching defeat from the jaws of victory.
Bright spots: Wennberg & Foligno were the best of the bunch, and put together some dangerous plays. Wennberg’s goal was a beauty, and Foligno’s set-up of Cam Atkinson for a power play goal was a thing of beauty.
Low spots: Plenty, but the turnovers and overall sloppy play after the first, and missed assignments in their own zone were devastating. Loss of composure was disappointing.
Quote: Coach John Tortorella: “We were sloppy, tentative right from the first . . . don’t try to put this on the young D[efense], it went right throughout the lineup.”
Full recap coming in the morning.
