Blue Jackets' Scott Hartnell: Scores late in loss

Hartnell broke up Sharks goalie Martin Jones' shutout bid with 2:50 remaining in Thursday's 3-1 loss.

Analysis:

The hard-nosed veteran has seen his ice time fall off precipitously this year (12:33 on average; 13:43 in this one) despite coming off a solid 2015-16 season, and yet he's still got a respectable four points in six games. Nonetheless, Hartnell clearly isn't part of the future envisioned by Jackets management, and he could remain buried in the bottom six as the team tries to motivate him to waive his no-trade clause.
