This week on The Union Blue Dispatch, we're breaking down a series of intense matchups for the Columbus Blue Jackets. The week started with a hard-fought battle against the New York Rangers, ultimately decided in a shootout after a scoreless game where both goalies, Igor Shesterkin and Daniil Tarasov, had strong performances. The Blue Jackets then faced the New York Islanders, where a seven-game point streak ended with a 3-1 loss, despite an early goal from Kent Johnson. However, the Jackets bounced back with a dominant 5-1 victory against the Toronto Maple Leafs, highlighted by Adam Fantilli’s first NHL hat trick and a strong performance from Luca Del Bel Belluz in his hometown. Unfortunately, the team couldn't sustain the momentum, falling to the Carolina Hurricanes after giving up five unanswered goals in the second period, despite multiple-point efforts from several players. We'll analyze the key plays and turning points in these games, and discuss what the Blue Jackets need to do to maintain their consistency on the ice.

On this episode of The Union Blue Dispatch, we're talking about the Columbus Blue Jackets' hot streak! The Jackets have won five straight games thanks to some stellar play from Zach Werenski, who extended his home point streak to 17 games, and rookie defenseman Denton Mateychuk, who's been a major difference-maker since being called up from the AHL. Mateychuk has been playing alongside Ivan Provorov on the second defensive pair and has been a force in the defensive zone. The Jackets are 10-2-0 since the two were first paired together. We'll also discuss the recent contract extension of Zach Aston-Reese, who's been a reliable veteran presence on the team. Tune in to hear all about the Jackets' recent success!
