The Blue Jackets are now 7-11-0 this season.

Dmitri Voronkov(1), Matthew Knies(4), and Adam Fantilli(5) scored the goals for Columbus, and Jet Greaves gave up 4 goals and 21 Flyers shots in a disappointing 4-3 home loss on Saturday night. 

The good news is that they scored some goals. The bad news is that they continue to give up goals. They jumped on Philly early and it looked like they were going to finally win a game. But as per usual lately, they can't close a game out, and keep pucks out of their own net. 

Fans were left booing and cursing on their way out of Nationwide Arena. It's officially dark times on Irish Broadway. 

Injuries - Dante Fabbro went down hard and got up holding his upper body. He skated gingerly off the ice and left for the locker room.
