BLUE JACKETS 7,
RANGERS 5
COLUMBUS, Ohio -- Nick Foligno scored
twice, Sergei
Bobrovsky returned from a team suspension and stopped 22 shots
and the Columbus Blue
Jackets held off a late surge and defeated the New York
Rangers 7-5 Sunday night.
Cam Atkinson and Artemi
Panarin each had a goal and an assist, Ryan Murray had
two assists and nine other players picked up points in the offensive explosion
for Columbus. But, two goals by the Rangers late in the third period turned it
into a closer game.
The Blue Jackets have won four of the last five, despite
being terrible on the power play. They managed the wild victory over the
Rangers despite coming up empty on five power plays.
Mats
Zuccarello had two goals, and Ryan Stome, Chris Kreider and Jimmy Vesey also
scored for the Rangers. Alexandar
Georgiev, spelling starter Henrik Lungqvist on the second night of a
back-to-back, had 33 saves. New York has lost six of its last seven games.
Anthony
Duclair, Lukas Sedlak and David Savard also
scored for the Blue Jackets, and Bobrovsky -- who had been benched for
Thursday's game for violating a team policy and didn't play in Saturday's
overtime win over Washington -- wasn't terrific, but held off the Rangers after
they pulled the goalie for a sixth skater late in the game.
ISLANDERS 5, LIGHTNING 1
NEW YORK -- Casey Cizikas and Cal
Clutterbuck each had a goal and an assist, Thomas Greiss
stopped 38 shots, and New York beat league-leading Tampa Bay.
Brock Nelson,
rookie Devon Toews and Josh Bailey also
scored as New York had three goals in the opening five minutes and went on to
get their 11th win in 14 games. Matt Martin had
two assists to give each player on the Islanders' fourth line two points.
Ryan McDonagh had
a goal and Andrei
Vasilevskiy finished with 23 saves for Tampa Bay, which was
18-1-1 in its previous 20. The Lightning -- the NHL leaders in wins (35),
points (72) and road wins (16) -- lost in regulation for just the ninth time
this season, but second in the last five games.
JETS 4, DUCKS 3, OT
WINNIPEG, Manitoba -- Bryan Little scored
at 4:49 of overtime as Winnipeg beat Anaheim and extended the Ducks' losing
