In the span of one week, the entire narrative around the Columbus Blue Jackets has changed. The team has won four games in a row, including a massive one on Saturday; and they are right back in the playoff battle within the Metropolitan Division.
Three of those games have come after making a change behind the bench. But, while the immediate impact is fun; there's a deeper, longer-term impact to this team's plans thanks to the shift to a new head coach. And, it's far more important than a wild card battle after a sluggish first half of the season.
