#CBJ vs #GoKingsGo ๐Ÿ“Š๐Ÿงต

The 5v5 data is dire. Garland by far the most productive scorer was also good under the hood despite receiving the second least minutes.

Top unit was especially poor when minutes are considered.

Marchenko, Kent Johnson and Conor Garland stand out because of powerplay contributions.

Kempe and Kopi came up huge and Panarin was everywhere.

The on-ice data isn't pretty. Somehow, Marchenko and Provorov come out as positives.

Miserable game from Werenski and Mateychuk who received little help from their forwards on some of these bigger chances.

Because the Blue Jackets were blanked at 5v5, there's not much positive to write about here. Matchup line had a couple very bad shifts.

Bowness' heavy PK reliance on Monahan and Coyle made some of the lines difficult. The top unit was heavily featured and the least impacted by that rotation.

It's starting to cause some problems.

Massive outchancing in-zone, massively outchanced off-the-rush.

CBJ really misplayed some slower in-zone situations that lead to extremely large chances.

The Blue Jackets wasted a great opportunity on this one and were lucky to get a point.

The opening double-minor was the best stretch played, otherwise they lost pretty much every conceivable situation.

Yeah I think so. I don't think we've quite seen full-flight Mateychuk under him yet and couple of defensive mistakes I'm sure Bowness doesn't really like.

#CBJ vs #TusksUp ๐Ÿ“Š๐Ÿงต

Utah rush game is quite outrageous and Logan Cooley was the centerpiece. Lawson Crouse had plenty of contributions, perhaps surprising given his name.

Top unit with a lot of offense. KJ and Garland should have found a goal, unlucky post.

#CBJ vs #TusksUp ๐Ÿ“Š๐Ÿงต

CBJ top unit had massive individual contributions as did Zach Werenski. Conor Garland's playmaking was instantly noticeable.

Coyle got to the net quite hard.

Logan Cooley was a complete force on the side of the Mammoth.

Werenski wasn't really eased back in. Bowness played the Garland line big, they had a tremendous first period and then were quiet after.

Werenski had some fun. He gave up far too many rush sequences in concert with the top line. This explains why plenty of the chances found their way on net.

KJ and Garland perhaps unlucky on a partial line change.

Werenski-Severson had a chaotic evening. Mateychuk-Provorov was mostly great, at least under the hood, save the rather large breakdowns.

CBJ's top unit was single handedly responsible for a point that they yanked from the jaws of defeat.

If it felt like Utah won big that's probably because they obliterated CBJ with rush offense of every kind. Specifically, they had some clever deep regroup moves that dominated the neutral zone.

NZ Faceoff should be changed to "contested neutral zone".

CBJ locked them in-zone.

Rowdy Saturday night game between two playoff hopefuls.

Utah gets the edge in open play but CBJ had some massive netfront sequences that gave them a massive edge in chance share.

CBJ was dominant for stretches, Utah created some premium looks.

#CBJ vs #TimeToHunt ๐Ÿ“Š๐Ÿงต

I am astounded those back to back Kent Johnson passes weren't considered higher danger but with passing data incorporated I think they would be.

Monahan's forechecking has been outrageous lately.

Bennett the big chance creator.

Mateychuk's offense has been noticeable.

Fantilli and Marchenko looked good to the eye but couldn't find much. Monahan with a massive game and a big ST chance.

Bennett was the most dangerous Panther, lots of middle distance shooting and was a key feature in the rebound parade.

Matchup line took heavy minutes, shoulered a heavy burden. Gave up some big chances but created an astounding variety.

Big chances off of forecheck turnovers probably the story, no surprise with these Florida Panthers.

Mateychuk Severson with a poor shift that soils an otherwise good night. Same goes for the Coyle line.

I'm suspicious of Fantilli line's results here, they struggled otherwise elsewhere. Perhaps most of that came when Marchment was injured.

Little time again for Kent Johnson but very even deployment of the top four D.

#CBJ vs #TimeToHunt ๐Ÿ“Š๐Ÿงต

A big game fore forechecking and Panthers come out on top because they got to rebounds. Not a ton of interesting rush offense outside of a wild Coyle jaunt.

Recovery offense was largely kept off of the net. Panthers created well off of faceoff players.

Not a pretty game for the Blue Jackets but an even one in open-play. They lost at the net-front, by way of getting very little, but also got demolished on the powerplay. The late game sequence full of rebounds did quite a number.

#CBJ vs #Preds ๐Ÿ“Š๐Ÿงต

Kent Johnson and Sean Monahan created a ton at 5v5. Fantilli with uncharacteristically low ice-time. Mateychuk was great.

Evangelista and Wood showed some controlled play acumen.

#CBJ vs #Preds ๐Ÿ“Š๐Ÿงต

Preds Vets created a lot both at the net and on special teams.

Blue Jackets kids created a lot in open play.

#CBJ vs #Preds ๐Ÿ“Š๐Ÿงต

Top line gave up rush chances and had a hard time getting pucks on net. Easy to say they lost but they scored a beautiful goal.

Conversely, third line looked mostly great but didn't convert.

Mateychuk-Severson were great offensively, did give up some big chances though.

#CBJ vs #Preds ๐Ÿ“Š๐Ÿงต

Provorov-Gudbranson were mostly solid but with a terrible shift. Mateychuk-Severson everywhere alongside Fabbro-Zamula.

Third line looked very good, matchup line generally good but not much creation going.

#CBJ vs #Preds ๐Ÿ“Š๐Ÿงต

Special teams particularly noticeable here too. Not a lot of rush or forecheck offense in either direction. Nashvhille was much better at getting their in-zone offense on-net.

Another critical Monahan shorty.

#CBJ vs #Preds ๐Ÿ“Š๐Ÿงต

The Blue Jackets won the possession share and were better in open-play but Nashville got to the net for some great results. Lots of special teams chances.

#CBJ vs #NYR ๐Ÿ“Š๐Ÿงต

Looks like Jenner was the most deployed forward at 5v5 which is puzzling because he wasn't very good.

Marchment very involved with the puck. Coyle and Monahan big rush creators.
