Looking to get back in the win column, the Jackets were at home against the visiting New York Rangers, and though the Jackets would at one point be up 4-1, the Rangers clawed their way back and defeated the home team 5-4 in regulation.
The Jackets opened the scoring just 1:54 into the game, when Markus Nutivaara blasted home a slapper from the point.
They’d follow up that goal with a powerplay mark off the stick of Cam Atkinson, but the Rangers would cut the lead to one with Oscar Lindberg’s first of the season.
