Despite missing playoffs, Blue Jackets see bright future | |
COLUMBUS, Ohio (AP) The Columbus Blue Jackets wrapped up their season earlier than they may have hoped, but the team is going into the offseason with a feeling that it has many of the pieces needed to move toward a more successful future. Columbus finished with a record of 37-38-7, missing the playoffs for the second consecutive year. The theme from coach and players alike, however, was of a team that experienced significant growth during a season where most experts picked it to finish last in the division. Instead, the Blue Jackets battled for a playoff spot until March and ended up sixth with first-year coach Brad Larsen leading the youngest team in the NHL with an average age of 25.71. MORE | |
