The Columbus Blue Jackets have a tough season ahead of them, however one stretch of five games as the season winds down and the playoff race reaches its climax can ultimately decide the Blue Jackets’ fate.
The Columbus Blue Jackets will end February and begin March with undoubtedly the most difficult and important games of the season. Not only will the pressure of the playoffs be very high on the players’ minds, but as will the possibilities of trades with the trade deadline rapidly approaching. If the Blue Jackets can overcome the mental barriers at this point in the season, as well as the physical barriers that will come along with the games and escape with at least six points then it will be a success.
