Zak MacMillan: Christiansen's First Crushes Devils; Rumor Cannon Day 2 Defenseman Jake Christiansen's first career goal; Patrik Laine's highlight goal for his 20th; and Elvis lead Blue Jackets over Devils, 4-3 in regulation.

More rumors before the deadline.

CBJ v LA Kings tonight!

well Washington won so no big help there.....

Zak - if Laine really wants to get to LA - then Jarmo will ask Anaheim/LAKings for a big chunk of the treasure trove prospect list. I don't think that's going to happen.
Lately Laine's been saying he likes Columbus, and his girlfriend likes it too . . . which is always important.

Come play for the BlueJackets and experience how to get hosed by the NHL Refs/Toronto review room !! An offside call that was so close you couldn't definitively determine . . . but the review crew in Toronto sprinkle some pixie dust on it and screwed the Jackets . . . again.
Penalties that aren't called - Zack Werenski took a high stick to the head/head shot last week that had him miss a few games . . . in front of a ref and nothing was called.

Curious how the playoff team seems to get the call, and the non-playoff team doesn't.

It gets tiresome watching this reffing.
