Blue Jackets Lack of Progress Most Concerning Part of Season
December 17, 2023 by Mark Scheig
Another game, another loss for the Columbus Blue Jackets. This time, they didn’t hold a lead in the entire game while the New Jersey Devils imposed their will in a 6-3 win that saw them in control most of the night.
The Devils were paced by Jack Hughes’ hat trick. He scored 47 seconds into the game and with 47 seconds left in the game to complete his hat trick. In the middle, he scored his 100th NHL goal.
The Blue Jackets elected to start Daniil Tarasov in his first NHL game since last March. He had spent the early part of his season working his way back from a knee injury. The rust was clearly visible. He made 24 saves on 29 shots.

However, as his impact reverberates through the league, it becomes evident that Voronkov is not just a revelation for the Blue Jackets but a rising star in the NHL.
