Columbus Blue Jackets Summary

The Columbus Blue Jackets have made headlines with their recent coaching change, bringing in Rick Bowness as the new head coach after parting ways with Dean Evason. Bowness, who was enjoying time on his boat in Florida when he received the call from the team, made an immediate impact in his debut, leading the Jackets to a victory against the Vancouver Canucks.

This victory marks a much-needed spark for the Blue Jackets, who have struggled this season, compiling a record of 19-19-7 before the coaching change. Player Kent Johnson has been a bright spot for the team, tallying four goals and eight assists for a total of 12 points in 45 games this season.

The Blue Jackets are now hoping to build on this momentum as they aim for consecutive wins in upcoming games.
