Rick Nash is minus-eight in his last five games. Part of that is just a product of playing for a 3-13-1 team, but Nash is also minus-two in Columbus' three wins. Nash is minus-12 this season, which is second only to Eric Staal's minus-17 rating. Nash has surpassed the 30-goal mark in each of his last four seasons, but he has just four goals in 17 games in 2011-12. That all being said, we could see the Blue Jackets and Nash bouncing back in the second half of the season. Although, even that probably won't be enough to salvage the Blue Jackets' playoff chances.
