All five teams are separated by three points from top-to-bottom, which means the Blue Jackets can still control their own destiny.   Here are three takeaways from their stumble in Ottawa: Columbus Blue Jackets miss defenseman Dante Fabbro After adding three points on a goal and two assists in the Blue Jackets’ resilient 7-6 shootout win over the Vancouver Canucks,

Shane Pinto had two assists, Drake Batherson and Jake Sanderson scored, and Linus Ullmark made 29 saves for the Senators (39-28-5), who are 3-1-0 in their past four games. Boone Jenner extended his goal streak to four games, Zach Werenski had two assists and Daniil Tarasov made 24 saves for the Blue Jackets (33-30-9), who had won two straight.

The Columbus Blue Jackets and Ottawa Senators play the first of three games in 11 days tonight at Canadian Tire Centre.
