Five takeaways from Blue Jackets' OT loss on the road against the New York Islanders, a gritty effort despite defeat.
This was only his second game since being recalled from the AHL’s Cleveland Monsters and he showed why he was tied for that league’s scoring lead with 14 points in 12 games when he left.
“Sometimes that’s just the way it goes,” Sillinger said of a 13-game goal drought to start his second NHL season. “The puck’s not going your way and you feel kind of like the world’s ending, you know? It’s nice to get one in.” Now that he’s back to full health, Korpisalo looks more like the guy who stymied the Lightning in those 2020 playoffs during a five-OT classic. Asked how much motivation he's added the past two years, Korpisalo was direct.
That would usually explain why the Islanders dominated shots, attempts, scoring chances and puck possession, but those were trouble spots for the Jackets even before the injuries mounted. Despite a yeoman’s effort while short staffed, they were again outshot by a wide margin and put Korpisalo in too many tough spots.
Another way to put it is that losses will continue to pile up if the Blue Jackets keep getting pinned in their own end for long, tiring shifts, and that’s regardless of the players who suit up. It’s fair to note the Jackets’ strength of schedule plus their injury issues, but this has been a glaring problem spot from the start and it bit them again Saturday in a game they could’ve won.Other than losing in OT, this game couldn’t have gone much better for Bjork in his first NHL game.
