Blue Jackets coach John Tortorella had the perfect description for Sunday’s game against the New Jersey Devils at the Prudential Center: “It’s like we were throwin’ mud at one another.” There was more mud-slinging Tuesday night at Nationwide Arena, a slog-fest that saw the Blue Jackets emerge in much the same fashion with only a slightly different final score. Goaltender Sergei Bobrovsky had 33 saves for his third consecutive shutout, leading the Jackets to an ugly-but-effective 2-0 win over the Devils before 15,947.
