In today's edition of "The Fuse," we're talking about the Blue Jackets' good fortune in the playoff race – which has nothing to do with their own play.
Two familiar names returned to practice for the Columbus Blue Jackets on Monday: Sonny Milano and Ryan Murray. Both will be with the team on their short road trip this week.
After their loss to the Washington Capitals and the New York Islanders' win over the Detroit Red Wings, the Blue Jackets have dropped out of playoff position.
As the New York Islanders fight for position in the Metropolitan Division, they have rookie forward Mat Barzal helping them carry their team. He is performing at a record-setting level not seen in years.
TSN's Bob McKenzie said teams are asking the Blue Jackets about Alexander Wennberg, and while they won't give him away, they're at least willing to listen.
