The Columbus Blue Jackets’ storybook 2022-2023 season continues to progress in the same negative way as it has since opening night. More losses continue to pile up, and they are now on their second fifth straight losing streak of the season.

CBJ P31 — Dallas Does Late Damage
Elite youth reigns supreme as the Dallas Stars defeat the Columbus Blue Jackets by the final score of 2-1.
Forward Wyatt Johnston opened the scoring in the final minute of the second period with his 8th goal
of the season just 55 seconds in. Veterans Ryan Suter and Jamie Benn had the helpers.
Jason Robertson extended the league on an empty net for his 24th of the season.
With only 15 seconds remaining on the game clock, Kent Johnson closed the shutout for his 7th of the year. The backhander was assisted by Jack Roslovic and Gustav Nyquist.
