The match between the Columbus Blue Jackets and Vancouver Canucks will take place at Nationwide Arena in Columbus, Ohio on Tuesday, October 18 at 7:00 PM ET.
The Columbus Blue Jackets will welcome the Vancouver Canucks to Nationwide Arena for an NHL game on Tuesday. Columbus have so far had a terrible start to the season losing three games in a row. Their last match ended in a 5-2 loss to the St Louis Blues. Sean Kuraly and Gustav Nyquist scored the two goals for Columbus. Goaltender Elvis Merzlikins saved 20 of the 25 shots he faced and finished the game with a save percentage of .800.
Brad Larsen, who is the head coach of the Blue Jackets pointed out some mistakes from his team but he also noted that their overall game was much better. After the game, Larsen said, “We were making some real mistakes moving the puck. As far as the overall game, it was much better.”
The Vancouver Canucks on the other hand lost their last game to the Washington Capitals 6-4 on Monday. Elias Pettersson, Bo Horvat, Curtis Lazar and JT Miller scored the goals for the Canucks but could not prevent the loss in what was a tough evening.
Vancouver coach Bruce Boudreau lamented the fact that his team was in a rut as they lost their third game in a row. After the game, he said, “When you’re on a roll, you’re waiting for good things to happen. When you’re in something like this, you’re waiting for something bad to happen.”
