What a game!
After blowing out the Islanders in Nationwide last night, the Blue Jackets traveled to the Big Apple to face the other New York team.
Just a minute in, Alexander Wennberg opened the scoring by deflecting a David Savard shot.
New York responded 3 minutes later with a score by He Who Shall Not Be Named. But it was all Columbus after that, with a power play goal by Cam Atkinson, a SECOND goal from Wennberg, and then a second goal from Atkinson on a breakaway.
Bob did Bob things and stood on his head from time-to-time.
Josh Anderson piled on with a goal in the final minute, then Jesper Fast scored for the Rangers in the final second.
This was the 7th straight strong performance from Columbus (5-2 record in that span). Both games this weekend featured strong performances for the entire 60 minutes. No period-long lapses.
The Blue Jackets are still actually good, and hockey is fun again.
