The End Is Near
The Blue Jacket’s season is coming to a close on April 16. They have 6 games left in the season. At this point in the season, there is no hope of making the playoffs, but these games could help the team’s chemistry and morale. The team has hopes of finishing the season strong but it could be a tough battle. The missing players have given others a chance to play more minutes or to play in the NHL. Unfortunately, these moves have also affected the Cleveland Monsters, as they have just made a season record with 7 losses in a row. Maybe those who have been called up can find some success on the Blue Jackets.
