However you want to put it, the Blue Jackets have lost four games in a row. Each game has seen them face a different kind of adversity, and tonight, they were unable to finish their chances despite generating 43 shots on goal.
Taking one point from the last four games isn't a pattern that the Blue Jackets want to be experiencing, but it's where they are at the moment.
| 1 | 2 | 3 | F | |

| BLUE JACKETS | 0 | 0 | 0 | 0 |
| FLAMES | 1 | 1 | 1 | 3 |
The Flames got the scoring started early in this one. Sean Monahan was given too much space in the slot, and his wrister was only partially deflected by Korpisalo's glove on its way to the back of the net.
In the second period, the Flames doubled their lead behind Sam Bennett's third goal of the campaign. Korpisalo made a save on a partial breakaway, but the rebound fell right to Bennett's backhand, and he made no mistake.
Matthew Tkachuk snuffed out any hope for a Blue Jackets comeback with an empty net goal at 17:21 of the third period.
Although the Blue Jackets had 43 shots on goal, they didn't generate many quality looks on net. They currently find themselves in the bottom third in the NHL in terms of goals per game, as well as goals allowed per game.
Not ideal.
