The month of October held some great performances from the Columbus Blue Jackets. Here are the three stars of the month.

October was an average start to the year for the Columbus Blue Jackets. They survived seven games without Seth Jones as he recovered from a torn MCL and still kept their heads above water.

The 6-5-0 start for the CBJ have them in a playoff spot to start out November and that’s due to some great performances in the month of October. Traditionally when the Jackets start this well, you would normally find a goalie as one of the stars of the month.

That isn’t the case with this Jackets team which is getting pedestrian net-minding from both Sergei Bobrovsky and Joonas Korpisalo. Bob has started six games and is 2-4-0 while Joonas is 4-1-0 in his starts. Beyond the record though, Korpi’s numbers are pretty mediocre. His save percentage is .875 and he is allowing well over three goals per game.

The three stars for the month of October all are skaters and are led by a guy who is used to being named top star to just about anything he does. The second and third star of the week were tough to pick as there were four or five guys who played well all month long.

Let us know who you think were the stars of the month after this article in the comments!
