#CBJ  GM Don Waddell, via club release, on Marchment: “Mason is a player I know very well, and I think he will add a great deal to our team. He is a physical, hard-nosed competitor with proven offensive ability and we are very excited to have him join the Blue Jackets.”

www.nytimes.com/athletic/690... ‘Enough is enough’: Zach Werenski vents after Blue Jackets’ latest frustrating loss

The Athletic: It’s easy to take #CBJ Zach Werenski’s consistently dazzling play for granted. But he’s having another “career” year and is keeping the Blue Jackets in the battle while others are struggling #mnwild w Quinn Hughes play in Nationwide tonight www.nytimes.com/athletic/689...

The Athletic: Nobody is going to out-Carolina Hurricane the Carolina Hurricanes. #CBJ let one of the NHL’s stingiest clubs dictate pace, and they eventually cracked with Dante Fabbro’s third-period turnover fueling a 4-1 Columbus loss in Raleigh www.nytimes.com/athletic/687...

The Athletic: Blue Jackets Monday Gathering 1. Marchand's antics should have sparked a riot 2. Chinakhov for #Canucks  Sherwood: who says no? 3. Take 5, #CBJ  AGM Chris Clark 4. Snacks: CBJ stuck overnight in DC, Corson Ceulemans is comin', #CBJ  trivia, etc. www.nytimes.com/athletic/686...

The Athletic: Scary thought | Where would #CBJ be without Charlie Coyle and Miles Wood? The impact of the veteran forwards has been evident all season. It was emphasized in Monday’s wild 5-3 win in New Jersey. www.nytimes.com/athletic/685...

The Athletic: #CBJ  needed this one in many ways. Blue Jackets overcome an early deficit before beating up (Dmitri Voronkov, wow) and beating #NJDevils  5-3 in Prudential Center And, yes, the Jackets can lock down a third-period lead www.nytimes.com/athletic/685...

The Athletic: Unbelievable, and yet almost predictable | #CBJ blow 3-1 third-period lead, lose 4-3 in overtime to #LetsGoPens in Nationwide Arena “We’re in the driver’s seat. It shouldn’t be that big of a deal, you know?” - veteran center Charlie Coyle www.nytimes.com/athletic/684...

Happy Thanksgiving to those in the U.S. or those celebrating wherever you may be. This day and every day, so many reasons to say thanks.

The Athletic: In a tight game with #LeafsForever , Blue Jackets lose late lead and fall in OT, 2-1. #CBJ  drop in scoring this season - oh so many chances, not so many goals - has left them no margin for error and only one regulation win since Nov. 1. www.nytimes.com/athletic/684...

The Athletic: It wasn’t an early Thanksgiving celebration, but certainly a moment of gratefulness with family. Veteran Brendan Smith, after two rough months on an AHL PTO, is back in the NHL. He’ll make his #CBJ debut tonight vs. #LeafsForever INCLUDES injury updates www.nytimes.com/athletic/683...

The Athletic: Familiar script | Blue Jackets blow another third-period lead, lose in 4-3 overtime to Red Wings “You know, it’s been a few games now, and we don’t want it to snowball into something larger than what it already is.” - Miles Wood #CBJ   #LGRW  www.nytimes.com/athletic/682...

#CBJ  D Zach Werenski, asked this morning in Toronto #LeafsForever  about this: “Yeah, it doesn't matter. It is what it is, I guess, right? I’m not going to lose sleep over it. I like Columbus, I like playing there, and I don’t care what Bill Simmons has to say.”

The Athletic: 4 As, 9 Bs, 6 Cs, and 2 Ds | We graded the Blue Jackets after the first 20 games (10-8-2) of the season. Overall GPA: 2.7 Kirill Marchenko and Zach Werenski get high marks - no surprises there - but others are lagging #CBJ  www.nytimes.com/athletic/682...

www.nytimes.com/athletic/681... Travel-weary Blue Jackets don’t have the jam to hang with Jets in 5-2 loss Zach Werenski hits 400 career points with third-period goal, but Kirill Marchenko has his career long 12-game point streak snapped

The Athletic: A #CBJ win like Monday’s would never have been questioned or critiqued last season But a 4-3 shootout win over #GoHabsGo had more worrying signs - like a blown 3-1 third period leads - that the Blue Jackets are letting other teams dictate play www.nytimes.com/athletic/681...

Stepped away from the #CBJ  on Tuesday to serve as a poll worker / election judge here in Licking County, Ohio, but some #CBJ  stuff to ponder heading into tonight's game at Calgary: 1. #CBJ  could be w/0 Denton Mateychuk, who is battling something and may not play vs. #Flames  1/4

www.nytimes.com/athletic/677... Blue Jackets overcome sluggish start, then fritter away late lead in loss to Islanders

www.nytimes.com/athletic/676... Sean Monahan’s first of the season, Jet Greaves’ strong outing, propel Blue Jackets

Barely newsworthy at this point, eh? #CBJ  goalie rotation continues, which means Jet Greaves gets the start tonight vs. #StLBlues  in Nationwide. No other lineup changes.

The Athletic: Road warriors? Well, not yet. But #CBJ  are more capable now of winning games away from Nationwide Arena They’re 3-1 with wins at #mnwild , #TexasHockey  and #LetsGoPens  heading into #Sabrehood  tonight. www.nytimes.com/athletic/675...

The Athletic: Blue Jackets Monday Gathering 1. Yegor Chinakhov parked despite his recent spark 2. Miles Wood’s scare 3. Take 5, Denton Mateychuk 4. Snacks: A perfect shootout, Mathieu Olivier begs to differ, Boone Jenner drops ‘em, #CBJ  trivia, etc. www.nytimes.com/athletic/675...

The Athletic: It wasn’t easy. It wasn’t pretty. But Saturday’s 5-4 SO win vs #LetsGoPens  is the type of game #CBJ  have historically found a way to lose. Kirill Marchenko’s shootout winner gives #CBJ  a road win in Pittsburgh on a back to back 2nd game. www.nytimes.com/athletic/675...
