NASHVILLE, Tenn. (AP) -- Derick Brassard scored in the sixth round of a shootout, and the Columbus Blue Jackets beat the Nashville Predators 3-2 Saturday night for their fifth win to start a season and a very rare win over their Central Division foe. Columbus had not won an opener since Oct. 3, 2009, against Minnesota, and the Blue Jackets had won only once in Nashville in the previous 20 games. They needed overtime to do that 4-3 on Nov. 19, 2011. Artem Anisimov, acquired in the trade that sent Rick Nash to the Rangers, scored on a backhand over Nashville goaltender Pekka Rinne in the second round of the shootout. David Legwand scored on a backhand in the third round to tie it up and extend the shootout. That was it before Brassard scored. Colin Wilson had a chance to tie it up, but missed off the post.

Nash-less Columbus Now A Multi-Line Scoring Threat

Via PuckScene.com  |  January 20, 2013
For the first time in 11 years, the Columbus Blue Jackets took the ice without Rick Nash being even remotely in the picture. After their playmaking captain was traded in the offseason to the New York Rangers, the Blue Jackets were more-or-less forced to redefine the way they played hockey. The Blue Jackets no longer have the elite goal scoring player who can direct the team’s offense...

IN ORDER TO WIN NASHVILLE: The Predators need to jump out to early lead. If they can get a couple goals before Columbus gets on the board, they should be able to get inside their heads. Remember, the Blue Jackets have only been to the playoffs one time in their 13-year franchise history, they have zero playoff wins and they just traded the face of their franchise, Rick Nash, to...

Quiet On the Offensive Front

Via Kukla's Korner  |  January 19, 2013
With a somewhat revamped offense and Rick Nash in the lineup, the New York Rangers' offense was quiet in their season opening 3-1 loss to the Boston Bruins. Obviously, it was the first game and players still have to get used to each other, but nevertheless, the Blueshirts did not generate enough offensive pressure. While the Bruins' defensemen are big and do a good job...

Not exactly how you want to start off three games in four nights. But hey, they’ll take the point. In front of 17,113 at Bridgestone Arena, the Nashville Predators squandered two one-goal leads and then eventually lost in a shootout to the visiting Columbus Blue Jackets. “It always feels like a loss when you lose at home in a shootout,” Head Coach Barry Trotz said. “But,...

You're not in Ohio anymore. The long sought-after Nash finally was corralled by the Rangers in a big offseason trade. New York is coming off a season in which it finished first in the Eastern Conference...

Thoughts after sleeping on it… GAME 1 vs Columbus

Via The Predatorial  |  January 20, 2013
So, here are some quick thoughts I have after getting some good shuteye after last night’s 3-2 shootout loss to the Blue Jackets. As Dennis Green would say, Columbus “is who we thought they were, but we let them off the hook.” The Blue Jackets had a great mix of speed and determination in last night’s opener, showing of a Columbus team that seems (in my opinion) like an...

Rangers v. Penguins goal breakdown

Ranger fans left The Garden disappointed tonight, as the Blueshirts dropped their home opener to the Penguins, in particularly brutal fashion, 6-3.  In a game we saw The King pulled in the second period, Rick Nash’s first Ranger goal, and continued sloppy, disjointed play, the good guys fell to 0-2-0 on the young season.  Let’s break down the goals… Penguins 1, Rangers 0...

The benefits of switching Gaborik to LW

Gaborik, a left-handed shot, has played the off-wing his entire career, until now. This season, Gaborik will at least start the year on the left side, with Derek Stepan as his center and Ryan Callahan as his right wing (the other top line is Carl Hagelin-Brad Richards...
