Yesterday, the Jackets acquired Anton Stralman from the Calgary Flames for a third-round pick in the 2010 entry draft.
Stralman is exactly what the Jackets needed, in theory. Here’s General Manager Scott Howson, on the subject:
“Anton fits a critical need on our roster,” Howson said. “He’s got puckmoving ability and power-play potential. He’s a right-(hand) shot, too, which is a nice bonus.
“He’s still a young player in the league, so he has a lot of upside, too.”
We have needed that right-handed shot for quite a while, and he has power-play potential.

Injuries and Hockey Season

We are two games into the preseason now, and with a game tonight against the dreaded Predators. It’s time for another update.
The Jackets lost the first two preseason games, the first a 5-4 OT loss to the Penguins, the second, last night a 2-0 loss to the Wild.
The scariest news out of last night, was that Jason Chimera, was carried off on a stretcher after a hit from Eric Belanger (of course don’t forget that Chimera gave the crowd 2 thumbs up as he left).
The quote that shook me the second I read it was from Fredrik Modin:

Fredrik Modin might be back for game one against Detroit. Kristian Huselius is ready to go, and don’t hold your breath but Derick Brassard MIGHT be back as soon as game 3.
That’s a lot of fire power. If Brass is back by game 3, I expect the return of the goat line, you remember that one with Voracek and Chimera.
I am so ready for the series to start it’s getting a little ridiculous. My tickets for game four came in the mail today and I carried them around with me and showed them to whoever would look.

A point lost

The Jackets lost in a skill competition last night. RJ Umberger was an absolute beast for the Blue Jackets last night. He set a franchise record by scoring two goals 89 seconds apart. It was a game that the Jackets should have won. We had every opportunity to win, but we didn’t capitalize on our chances - shocker, I know.

Jackets at a Glance

Wow. What a game last night. I don’t have time for a real post, so this will have to do for now, but I promise it will be worth it.
*The game last night was absolutely ridiculous, way too many goals were scored, but in the end we somehow prevailed, and in the shootout to boot. I am impressed.
*Rick Nash was a monster last night. Nash had a goal and two assists and a goal in the shootout to seal the victory for the Jackets. Nash is now the all-time leading scorer for the Columbus Blue Jackets. He is now one point ahead of David Vyborny. Vyborny had 317 points in 543 games. Nash now has 172 goals and 146 assist in 404 games all as a Blue Jacket. Here’s to many more points to come!

The Blue Jackets have Freddy Modin back in the lineup. That means that either Picard or Dorsett will be sent down before the game. Picard has to clear waivers to be sent down, Dorsett does not. My gut feeling is that it’s Dorsett that gets sent down. I don’t think that the Blue Jackets want to risk losing Picard, but you never know with this team. Tonight the Jackets are facing the worst team in the NHL, standings wise at least.

The Blue Jackets Help

Sometimes, you don’t need to worry about the goals, the shutouts, and the struggling defense, you need to worry about something else. Today the Blue Jackets helped out Flashes of Hope. It’s a non-profit organization that takes photographs of children fighting cancer and other potentially fatal diseases. Rick Nash, Fredrik Modin, Jared Boll, and Jason Chimera went in to take pictures with the kids.
I think this is something that everyone can relate to. We all know someone who has been affected by a life threatening disease. For me, it was my Uncle, who passed away three years ago in February with complications stemming from his leukemia. It was a great way for the Blue Jackets to do something meaningful and to help these kids have a reason to smile, in the toughest time of their young lives.

Fredrik Modin is now on IR with a groin injury, according to Puck-Rakers to “make room for Malhotra.” Modin won’t be able to play the next three games, Picard is back in the lineup and Kris Russell is scratched. Here are the defensive pairings for the game tonight.
Commodore-Hejda
Klesla-Tyutin
Backman-Methot
