Columbus goes all-in on a playoff run, acquires Matt Duchene in first major trade of the deadline originally appeared on nbcsportswashington.com The Columbus Blue Jackets had a tough choice to make at the NHL trade deadline.

John Tortorella was at it again on Tuesday night, but this time the outspoken coach's antics may have gone a bit too far. With Blue Jackets forward Artemi Panarin sitting out last night's game against the Canadiens with an illness, Anthony Duclair drew back into the lineup — he was a healthy scratch the previous night when Columbus faced off against Tampa Bay. Tortorella, who was questioned on why Duclair was a healthy scratch against the Lightning, offered few words with his explanation. Continue to Article

Nobody can deny that Columbus Blue Jackets head coach John Tortorella is a straight shooter. Ahead of his team's clash with the Montreal Canadiens at the Bell Centre on Tuesday, the two-time Jack Adams Award winner was asked why his star point producer wouldn't be in the lineup. The Blue Jackets are currently hanging onto a playoff spot by the thinest of margins. Continue to Article
