Blue Jackets drop sixth straight game, undone by costly errors in ugly loss to struggling Blackhawks
. The Jackets still have 49 games remaining, so it’s fair to wonder how many more embarrassing periods they can withstand before the front office is forced to act with a shakeup move of some sort?At 7:28 of the second, his Blue Jackets trailing 4-0 in another listless start, the gritty center from Dublin saw a chance to spark his team and steamrolled a legend.
Kuraly finished with a minus-2 plus/minus rating and five hits in his 16:28, which included winning 12 of 22 faceoffs . Most importantly, he led the charge for the Blue Jackets to get themselves back into the game emotionally.This was the fifth straight start for Tarasov and the rookie netminder wasn’t as sharp as he’d been in the first four.
Tarasov’s play has also been eye-opening, which begs the question about what the Blue Jackets will ultimately do to alleviate the goaltending logjam forming at the NHL level. Korpisalo is a pending free agent with a cheap one-year contract, making him easier to move than Merzlikins, but Columbus’ front office doesn’t appear to be in any rush to trade a goalie.
