The Blue Jackets haven't won a game in regulation in Pittsburgh since November 2015. The streak continued Tuesday in a 4-1 loss.
Four goals against isn't a goalie's dream stat line, but the first three goals were not solely Merzlikins' responsibility, in coach Brad Larsen's view.
"You just live with the call," Larsen said."I would call it again. Unfortunately, we didn’t get it to go our way." "Seems to be the story here," forward Cole Sillinger said."We just have to play a full 60 minutes, play consistent. We talked about it. We knew they were going to up their game for the second and third. It showed. They did."
"You’ve got to learn from it," forward Sean Kuraly said."The good teams are never done. A good period, hate to say it, doesn’t mean . We’ve got to erase the good and bad periods from our mind. Have to move on and you have to play 60 minutes in this game or you’re not going to win games." He began the game on a line with Sillinger and Yegor Chinkahov and also skated a handful of shifts with Gaudreau and Kent Johnson in the third period.
