COLUMBUS Zdeno Chara Jersey , Ohio (AP) — Columbus’ Boone Jenner was sent to the penalty box for slashing just 20 seconds into Saturday night’s game, giving Pittsburgh an early power-play chance and sucking some of the energy out of a sold-out Nationwide Arena.But the Blue Jackets killed the penalty, and Jenner emerged from the box and scored 11 seconds later to reset the tone of a game they desperately needed to win to stay in the crowded mix for a wildcard playoff spot in the Eastern Conference.Cam Atkinson scored twice and Oliver Bjorkstand got the back-breaker in the third period as Columbus snapped an eight-game losing streak against the Penguins with a 4-1 victory Saturday night. The Blue Jackets had lost four of their last six and were shut out at Pittsburgh on Thursday night.This one had all the energy of a playoff game.Sergei Bobrovsky, who was a healthy scratch in Pittsburgh, was exceptional in recording 28 saves against the Penguins, who were 4-0-2 in their last six and started the day in third place in the Metropolitan Division.“It just goes to show, if we play like that we’re a dangerous team,” Atkinson said. “All these points are so crucial. It’s good to see we can play like that because I’m sure everyone was wondering what was going on. But it can’t be a fluke, it can’t be a one-and-done so we have to continue.”Zach Aston-Reese scored for Pittsburgh in the second period Xavier Ouellet Jersey Womens , and Matt Murray, starting his seventh straight game, had 29 saves.“I thought he was terrific,” Pittsburgh coach Mike Sullivan said of his durable net-minder. “I thought he made some 10-bell saves to keep us in the game. He gave us a chance.”Holding onto a 1-0 lead early in the second period, the Blue Jackets got a break on a Pittsburgh power play when Phil Kessel went sprawling at his own blue line and Atkinson found himself with a loose puck and an open net. He snapped it in over Murray for his team-leading 37th goal of the season.Pittsburgh pulled it back to a one-goal game at 6:39 of the second when Aston-Reese took Evgeni Malkin’s pass on the doorstep and beat Bobrovsky .Bjorkstrand got the insurance goal with 3:01 left, tapping in a Ryan Dzingel pass, and Atkinson got his 38th of the season when he added an empty-netter at the 1:49 mark.“We had some quality chances,” Sullivan said. “Five-on-five, there wasn’t a lot of room out there. The game had a playoff feel to it TJ Brodie Jersey , it was physical, there wasn’t a lot of room. It was one of those games you have to fight for every inch of ice.”Columbus coach John Tortorella’s post-game comments were measured.“I’m excited for the guys,” he said. “I’m not going to get too amped up here. That’s a big win for us. If you go into these two games and you split against Pitt, I guess you leave happy. I’m sure (Sullivan) is saying the same thing with his group. The thing I’m happiest about is, I think we’re improving each game to try to get out of this.”NOTES: Kessel played in 314th straight game for Pittsburgh, the second-longest streak in franchise history. Craig Adams holds the record with 319. … Anderson got his 100th career NHL point. …Atkinson has 12 career short-handed goal, two short of the franchise record. … Columbus last beat Pittsburgh in the regular season on Feb. 17, 2017 (2-1 in overtime). … Malkin has a nine-game points streak against the Blue Jackets. … Columbus is 27-5-2 this season when scoring the first goal.UP NEXTPittsburgh: At Boston on Sunday night.Columbus: At New York Islanders on Monday night. BOSTON (AP) — The Boston Bruins almost made it into their mid-winter break completely healthy.Forward Joakim Nordstrom is recovering from a fractured lower leg and goaltender Tuukka Rask is dealing with a concussion sustained against the New York Rangers on Saturday. Otherwise, the Bruins’ lineup from the start of the season was on the ice when they completed their 49th game with a 3-2 loss to the Rangers.A nearly full complement of players had the Bruins excited about what they could accomplish after the break. They’re in third place (27-17-5) behind Tampa Bay and Toronto in the Atlantic Division despite fighting injuries throughout the first half.“I think we can continue to build on some of the success we had in the beginning of the season Womens Travis Hamonic Jersey ,” said defenseman Kevan Miller, who missed 26 games because of injuries. “We think we still have some areas in our game that we need to work on. But I think the break will help a little bit, some guys get their legs.”The eight-day vacation, which combines the NHL-mandated break and the NHL All-Star break, possibly came at just the right time because of Rask’s head injury. He was bowled over by Rangers forward Filip Chytil in the midst of the wing scoring a goal on an end-to-end rush in the first period on Saturday.Rask is 14-8-3 with a .919 save percentage and 2.43 goals-against this season and has formed an impressive goaltending tandem with Jaroslav Halak. He signed as an unrestricted free agent last summer and is 13-9-2 with a .919 save percentage and 2.47 GAA. When Rask struggled early in the season and took a four-day leave of absence to attend to a personal matter, Halak carried the load. Rask has returned the favor after Halak struggled in the weeks leading up to the break.Their performances were a big reason the Bruins overcame their injury issues, including a 16-game absence of four-time Selke Trophy-winning center Patrice Bergeron and 19 games without captain Zdeno Chara. The Bruins are tied for second place in the NHL at 2.61 goals allowed per game.“Our goaltending . they’ve been healthy, a balanced workload,” Bruins coach Bruce Cassidy said. “You look at the numbers http://www.officialhurricanes.com/authentic-adidas-andrei-svechnikov-jersey , they’re almost identical now. So you’re getting a chance to win every night.”Cassidy noted their back-to-back record has been good — finishing 6-1-1 in the second game.“Guys pick each other up around here,” he said. “So they understand if someone, a major part of the lineup is out, they’ve got to pick it up.”More than a week off between games could give Rask and others a chance to heal up for the stretch run and could prevent an unfortunate slide in the standings. The Bruins followed a 6-1-0 stretch with a 1-2-1 record before the break, including regulation losses to the Rangers and Philadelphia Flyers, teams 10 points or more behind them in the standings.Boston ranks just 17th in goals scored per game (2.90) and leans a bit too much on its second-ranked power play (27.2 percent).“I thought we had some really good games,” Chara said. “You know we had some games we could’ve played better, but overall I think we’re in a good position going into the break. It’s always very important to play better and keep improving the closer you get to the playoffs. You demand to play the best hockey.”
