John Tortorella and his Columbus Blue Jackets have come upon difficult times to close out the most successful season in franchise history.

With Saturday's 4-2 loss in Philadelphia, Columbus has dropped six games in a row - the club's longest losing streak since dropping its first eight of 2015-16. But its head coach is trying not to overthink the backslide.

"I'm not going to pick apart what my team is right now, because it's so hard to judge in these types of circumstances," Tortorella said following Saturday's defeat, according to Aaron Portzline of The Columbus Dispatch.

The circumstances are by no means dire, as Columbus is locked into a first-round matchup with the Pittsburgh Penguins.

The Blue Jackets have one more chance to right the ship before the postseason begins, as they'll travel to Toronto on Sunday for a matchup with the Maple Leafs.
