Blue Jackets Drop Fifth Straight With 4-2 Loss To The Anaheim Ducks

Yegor Chinakhov(4) and Kirill Marchenko(6) scored the goals for Columbus, and Daniil Tarasov stopped 25 of 28 Ducks shots in the loss.

The Blue Jackets dominated the game in every fashion and deserved to win, they just can't seem to put the puck in the net anymore. The two goals they scored on Sunday night marked the 6th game straight scoring two or fewer goals.

Per NaturalStatTrick.com, the Jackets had 32 scoring chances to the Ducks' 21, and 13 high danger scoring chances to the Ducks' 9. It just wasn't in the cards for the CBJ.

The Jackets have lost five straight games overall, and are 0-3-1 on the current five-game road trip.

"It's unacceptable, to be honest. Enough of the moral victories. We've played well enough in a lot of games this year to win and we end up losing them. That's on us. We have to look ourselves in the mirror and find a way to win." - Zach Werenski.
