Dumont increases his point streak to 16 games with 2 assists last night.
4-2 final score.
Columbus pulled leclaire and pit in norrena at the start of the third period - Hitchcock said the team needed a boost, that Leclaire was playing fine.
Mason gets the win for the Preds.
Columbus was missing a big gun - Federov is still out with the concussion (6 games so far) - but Foote was back after a bout with the flu.

I expected the loss on the road, I even yanked LeClaire from the GTG Fantasy league for the night...

They trail the Preds by a lousy point in the standings, you think they would be up for this...but no...

You know who sucks right now?...David Vyborny sucks...after two seasons of +60 points, the man is giving us 16 total points this season... worse is he scores at a rate on 3.8 percent of his shots!...

Then there is this bit of analysis by the coach:


A lack of discipline by the Blue Jackets was one of the concerns for coach Ken Hitchcock, who pointed to his team's nine penalties..."We took too many penalties," Hitchcock said. "We haven't played well enough to win. It's always the first period. You can't dig yourself a hole like we did."
ya think?
