The Columbus Blue Jackets defeated the Pittsburgh Penguins 4-1 last night in a must-win game which was directly the most important game of the night. Their next game against the New York Islanders tomorrow night will be just as important in the long run.
The New York Islanders lost their game last night against the Philadelphia Flyers which could either be great for the Blue Jackets or disastrous if the Flyers string too many wins together.
Meanwhile in Nashville, the Carolina Hurricanes kept up their recent dominating play and walked out with a 5-3 victory.
