Reaching the playoffs for the first time last season was a major step for the Columbus Blue Jackets. They don’t appear capable of a return trip in 2009-10, but winning consecutive games for the first time in nearly two months has coach Ken Hitchcock seeing some similarities. The Blue Jackets seek their third three-game winning streak Sunday night when they host the Dallas Stars. Columbus (17-20-9) posted a franchise-record 92 points last season, qualifying for the playoffs for the first time. Despite being swept in the opening round by Detroit, the Blue Jackets appeared to be showing promise in becoming a contender in the Western Conference.

The Blue Jackets have fallen further back in this season’s playoff race thanks to a 3-14-7 stretch that included a 3-1 loss at Dallas on Dec. 23. They’ve followed that by winning 4-2 at Edmonton on Thursday before beating Calgary 3-2 the following night to post consecutive wins for the first time since a three-game run from Nov. 13-19. Antoine Vermette has been a big part of last the two wins, getting two goals and two assists after posting three and five, respectively, over the previous 17 contests. The center has 13 goals, and his 35 points rank second on the team behind captain Rick Nash’s 41.
