The Blue Jackets keep finding ways to win.
Tonight, with some obviously tired legs after their Western Canadian streak, the Jackets put their faith in Curtis McElhinney and were rewarded handsomely.
First Period
The Kings came to skate, and pushed the Jackets around for sizable chunks of the period. Neither team managed to break through, but C-Mac turned away the steady barrage, and when the Jackets caught Los Angeles in a mistake, they pushed hard, with odd man rushes coming early and often, requiring Peter Budaj to make some excellent saves.
Second Period
Stop me if you’ve heard this one before: Cam Atkinson opens the scoring.
