We are a calendar week into the NHL season and the Columbus Blue Jackets have started out the year 2-1-0. The loss to Carolina is looking better everyday as the Hurricanes continue to dominate the NHL and the win over Colorado settled a lot of nerves.
The Jackets are doing all of this without their top defenseman. Seth Jones is still recovering from a knee injury sustained at the Kraft Hockeyville preseason game in central New York. The defense has rotated in eight different skaters to find the right combination and will continue down that road for the next two weeks.
