Blue Jackets stretch win streak to 13
Published in The Saudi Gazette on 29 - 12 - 2016

The Columbus Blue Jackets squandered a three-goal lead but recovered to win their 13th game in a row, a 4-3 home result over the Boston Bruins Tuesday.
Nick Foligno scored the winning power-play goal and the Blue Jackets (24-5-4) extended their franchise-record and the NHL's longest winning streak this season.
Foligno rebounded his own shot from just outside the crease after a pass from Alexander Wennberg midway through the third period for his 11th goal of the season.
The only winning streaks longer than the Blue Jackets' in one season since 2005-06 are the Pittsburgh Penguins (15-0-0) in 2012-13 and the Washington Capitals (14-0-0 in 2009-10).
Columbus goalie Sergei Bobrovsky won his 13th straight game and beat Boston for the first time, finishing with 37 saves.
The Blue Jackets came out firing after the three-day holiday break, opening a 3-0 lead less than 10 minutes into the first period with goals by Scott Hartnell, Seth Jones and Matt Calvert.
But the Bruins (18-15-4) responded with goals by David Backes and Austin Czarnik to make it 3-2 at the end of the opening period. Whether the Blue Jackets became complacent or the Bruins' ratcheted up their game, a potential blowout suddenly became a close contest. There was no scoring in the second period until 18:26, when David Krejci scored for Boston to tie it at 3-3 with his seventh goal of the season.
Wild 3, Predators 2 (OT): The Minnesota franchise-record winning streak improved to 11 games in dramatic fashion when defenseman Jared Spurgeon scored in overtime to lift the Wild past the Nashville Predators. Spurgeon ripped a wrist shot from the left faceoff circle past Pekka Rinne off a feed from Jordan Schroeder as the Wild improved to 22-8-4 with their 10th road win of the season.
Devan Dubnyk (18-6-3) came up with 28 stops for the Wild.
Penguins 5, Devils 2: Sidney Crosby recorded three points and Evgeni Malkin had a pair, including the 800th point of his NHL career, as Pittsburgh rallied for a road victory over New Jersey.
The Penguins, who also beat the Devils last Friday in Pittsburgh, erased a pair of early deficits by scoring the final four goals and raised their record to a perfect 52-0 the past two seasons when leading after two periods of play.
Rangers 4, Senators 3: Nick Holden's second goal of the night, a tiebreaking tally early in the third period, helped the New York Rangers snap Ottawa's four-game winning streak.
Holden's winner came on a wraparound, as Ottawa goalie Mike Condon allowed the shot to slide under his left leg. Derek Stepan also scored twice for the Rangers, goaltender Antti Raanta made 33 saves and Ryan McDonagh contributed three assists.
Islanders 4, Capitals 3: Andrew Ladd and Anders Lee scored 43 seconds apart in the third period as the New York Islanders beat Washington.
Sabres 4, Red Wings 3: Evander Kane scored twice, including the winning goal in the third period, and Buffalo beat Detroit to end a four-game losing streak.
Jets 3, Blackhawks 1: Connor Hellebuyck stopped 34 shots to defeat Chicago for the third time this season as Winnipeg secured a road win over the Blackhawks.
The Jets (17-17-3) have won four of their last five.
Sharks 3, Ducks 2 (OT): Brent Burns scored in overtime off a centering pass from Joe Pavelski and San Jose beat Anaheim.
Flames 6, Avalanche 3: Johnny Gaudreau and Mikael Backlund had two goals and an assist apiece, and Calgary beat slumping Colorado.
Stars 3, Coyotes 2: Jason Spezza and Jamie Benn each had a goal and an assist to lift Dallas over Arizona.
