Well, that was distinctly unpleasant.
After a dominant first period, the Blue Jackets let the Oilers take over the game – despite Derek Dorsett giving them an advantage on the scoreboard after 40 minutes, it was pretty clear they were being outplayed, and this time it caught up with them – hard.
Best E/S Forward: Derick Brassard (+4), but that’s deceptive, because Brass was on the bench for significant chunks of the third period. Best player who actually was out there all game? Derek Dorsett (+2).
Worst E/S Forward: Mark Letestu (-5)
Best E/S D-man: Aaron Johnson (0)
Worst E/S D-man: Fedor Tyutin (-4)

Head To Head:
At this point I’d like to erect a giant sign that says “WELL, THERE’S YOUR PROBLEM!” and point it at Fedor Tyutin.
Toots has historically been a better player at home than on the road, but this road trip in particular he’s really suffered. I realize the team is not in a position to bench him in Montreal, but I can’t help but wonder if spending a match at home in the press box might help his game.
Some of these matchups aren’t perfectly accurate because of Lineup Card Bingo during the game, but you get a pretty decent idea.
Also, our top line is getting its’ ass kicked by Ryan Whitney? What?
