When the regular season comes to a close and the schedule shifts to the playoffs, no NHL club makes it very far without a healthy dose of offensive depth.
The Columbus Blue Jackets likely aren't sweating that requirement, as the strength of their forwards group seems to be just fine.
Heading into their Saturday night tilt with the New York Islanders, the Jackets' offense was rolling along at an elite rate already, the club ranking fifth in the league with 3.19 goals per game.
They managed to find a new level against the Islanders, however, stomping their division rival with a 7-0 victory.
The most impressive part of that win? All but two of Columbus' 12 forwards managed to record a point in the game.

Five different Jackets forwards recorded multi-point efforts (Nick Foligno, Alexander Wennberg, Brandon Saad, Boone Jenner, and Josh Anderson), while everyone else in the forward corps - besides Oliver Bjorkstrand and Scott Hartnell - recorded at least one point.
Of course, things didn't look so bad for the blue-liners either, as David Savard posted a team-leading three points (one goal, two assists), while Jack Johnson scored for the Jackets as well.
The Islanders entered the game with a seemingly favorable match-up against Columbus' backup goaltender, Joonas Korpisalo, but had their hopes for an easy win quickly dashed as Korpisalo earned his first career shutout while the rest of his team rolled over the Islanders for 60 minutes straight.
