The Blue Jackets have a lot of distance to make against elite teams like the Tampa Bay Lightning, which they learned once again Tuesday night in a 6-3 shellacking from a talent-laden, veteran team that nearly won the Stanley Cup a third straight time last year. Playingafter defenseman Vladislav Gavrikov was ruled out at the morning skate, Columbus spoiled any shot to pull off an upset with a costly turnovers and penalties.
Vladislav Namestnikov also benefited from a turnover by Blue jackets center Cole Sillinger just outside the Tampa Bay blue line midway through the second, putting the Lightning up 3-1 less than three minutes after Bayreuther’s goal pulled Columbus within a goal. It happened again in the third, when Berni’s goal cut it to 3-2 and was followed by Kucherov’s second goal to cap a power play 1:58 later.
