Looking to hang on to their slim lead on the Metropolitan Division and extend their five game winning streak to six, the Blue Jackets welcomed the Ottawa Senators in for a Black Friday throwdown.

First Period

Despite the Jackets dominating the early possession and hammering Craig Anderson with shots, it would be Ottawa who scored first, with Tom Pyatt finishing a perfect 2 on 1 to beat Sergei Bobrovsky on the Senators’ second shot of the game.

The Jackets answered quickly, though, with Cam Atkinson forcing a neutral zone turnover and charging down the ice on a breakaway, beating Anderson low to tie the game once agan.
