Still 0-0 after the opening period of play in St. Louis. The Blue Jackets, who have 5 seconds of power play time left to start the 2nd, outshot the Blues 7-4 in the 1st.
Some solid chances but no scores yet! 0-0 after 1 #CBJ
Of all the first periods, that was definitely one of them. Blues and Blue Jackets combined for 11 shots on goal, and many came in the last two minutes during a Columbus power play. 0-0 at first intermission.
0-0 in St. Louis after 20 minutes. I'd say the better chances belonged to the Jackets, but not exactly a barnburner. SOG are 7-4 #CBJ. CBJ with 22-10 edge in shot attempts, but eight blocked and seven wide.
After one, no score between the #stlblues and #CBJ. Shots are 7-4 in favor of CBJ. Blues lucky to get out of the first tied.
#CBJ Peeke draws a highsticking penalty at 18:05. To the power play tney go.
#CBJ getting their first PP of the game with 1:55 left 1st ... Thomas to the box for high-sticking. Game 0-0.
Boone Jenner with a second chance try off the post behind Binnington. #CBJ has had the better looks here, but still nada on the scoreboard.
In the good news department, that was a strong opening PK for the #CBJ ... very reminiscent of how they did it the first couple months of the season. Game remains 0-0 vs #stlblues with 5:48 left 1st.
After the PK struggles the last few games, #CBJ just had a really good one. The St. Louis fans were left booing by the end. Still 0-0 here.
#CBJ going down a skater. Beat heads off at 11:43 for tripping.
Werenski took a stick to the chops that went uncalled. Wasn't thrilled with no call heading to the bench, and now #CBJ D Jake Bean is called for tripping. Jackets and their struggling PK now shorthanded for the first time tonight. Game 0-0 with 9:17 left 1st vs #stlblues
Still 0-0, so we're going to see a lot of goals the rest of the way for our 4-3 final score. #stlblues
Boys are buzzing so far! Just gotta get that puck in the net #CBJ
#CBJ off to a really nice start to this one, but it remains 0-0. The forecheck/cycle effort has been impressive though.
#CBJ with an excellent first three minutes. All four lines with offensive zone time. On the next shift through, Werenski takes a Gaudreau pass and has a great look from the slot, but Binnington gets a toe on it.
Merzlikins vs. Binnington. Battle of the calm, cool, and collected #CBJ

#CBJ facing a #StLBlues club on a season-long five-game win streak, including three straight in OT. Yegor Chinakhov (2-1-3) and Kirll Marchenko (1-1-2) stood out on Dec. 8, when #CBJ beat the Blues 5-2 in Nationwide Arena.
Jordan Binnington first off the ice and will start tonight vs. #cbj #stlblues
One more #CBJ game before the break. https://t.co/Cmxzzy5IwF
Jordan Eberle coming on strong for a #SEAKraken team needing all the help it can get. Big first period keys tonight’s win over Columbus Blue Jackets. https://t.co/cqylyCHPxr #NHL
Better angle. Oh man … McCann’s left skate, as feared, caught Fantilli on the back of the left calf. #CBJ https://t.co/LvyKBcGVGg

Empty-netter with 13 seconds seals it for #SeaKraken ... #CBJ will drop this one in regulation after a game effort to pull even. Terrible start and continued PK struggles sunk them in this one.
Kraken empty-net goal with 13.0 seconds left. Jackets just couldn’t quite get there.
#CBJ take a timeout with 56.2 seconds remaining.
#CBJ pushing for the equalizer with the net empty. Timeout Columbus with 56.2 seconds left. This one has gotten very interesting.
#CBJ Tarasov off for an extra skater with about 2 1/2 minutes remaining.
#CBJ net empty, a rebound just evaded Chinakhov or he’d probably have a hat trick.
GOAL JACKETS! Chinakhov again! Jackets within one. 3-2
🚨 #CBJ goal: Yegor Chinakhov This is not a rerun. Right out of a media timeout, Chinakhov comes right down Route 1 and rips another past Daccord. 4:02 to go, 3-2 Seattle
#CBJ down 3-1 with 4:06 to go. Jackets have pushed the past few minutes but it’s still a big hill to climb.

Damon Severson and Johnny Gaudreau pick up the assists on the #CBJ goal. https://t.co/hOsqku454X

No scoring in the 2nd so the Kraken still lead 3-0 after 40 minutes of play. Also up in shots, 18-14.
Still 3-0 #SeaKraken after two periods. #CBJ a better finish to that period, but not nearly good enough.
3-0 Seattle after 40 #CBJ
Still a 3-0 Seattle lead after two periods. Not much in the way of offensive chances for either squad or squid in that frame. #CBJ
#CBJ Werenski off for slashing at 14:47, so the power play is gone. Now 4-on-4 for 1:29. Think #CBJ can kill that 31-second power play by #SeaKraken on the other side of the 4-on-4?
#CBJ to the power play at 14:16 of the second. #SeaKraken Dunn off for slashing Kuraly.
#CBJ still looking for their first shot on goal in the second period. It'd help if they could get the puck.
This should be pointed out fwiw ... #CBJ are concluding a road back-to-back with a start time that gave them less than 24 hours between games and #SeaKraken are fresh as a daisy. Also, the Jackets did a "Jackets" last night in Vancouver by blowing a 4-1 lead in 5-4 OTL.
Seattle lead 3-0 over #CBJ after the opening period of play. Kraken also up in shots, 10-8.

Another power play goal allowed. It's 3-0. Tarasov has been kicking out juicy rebounds all period, and Eberle makes his pay. 3-0 at 17:58. Eberle has 2-1-3 (so far) in the first period.
Kraken score a second power-play goal with 2:02 left in the first. Eberle again, his second of the night. 3-0. Jackets have given up goals on five straight power plays. They were one of the best in the NHL at one point this year, but man.
#CBJ back to the kill. Jenner off at 17:44 for hooking Schwartz.
#SeaKraken Eberle involved again, this time a slick pass on a 2-on-1, which McCann finishes from the left circle. It's now 2-0 at 16:04 of the first.
