The Blue Jackets are undoubtedly having the most successful first half of a season in franchise history. Some may attribute this to their relatively unsustainable, at least into future seasons, shooting percentage. Sitting at 11.1% on the season, the Blue Jackets are second only to the New York Rangers in this category.
From the viewpoint of a hockey realist, most would admit that it’s likely higher than it should, or will, be. 12 of the 16 teams currently in playoff positions so far this season sit somewhere between 8.9-9.9% on the season. So to think the Blue Jackets will regress is likely. But even if they do, the depth they have on hand will keep the Jackets faithful sleeping soundly at night.
