Three takeaways from Blue Jackets' fourth straight loss, a 6-3 defeat against the Colorado Avalanche in Finland
Gaudreau leads the team with five goals, four assists and nine points and Laine is heating up with his second goal of the season Friday in his fifth game, but neither is scorching hot. It’s early and Laine missed two weeks with an elbow sprain, so a lag in developing chemistry between the two was expected.
Further good news was spotted in the way the Jackets zipped the puck around the offensive zone with an extra attacker, which will lead to a lot more goals if that continues. Gaudreau hit the goal post from the slot with a shot that would’ve put the Blue Jackets up 4-3, but the Avalanche got through it unscathed with help from Laine’s penalty that cut the power play short. Rantanen made it 4-3 Avs on that power play and Makar followed up with a goal to make it 5-3 two minutes later.
