The Blue Jackets blew a 3-1 lead and lost 6-3 Saturday, but they rebounded on a short turnaround to beat the New York Rangers 5-1.
at home Saturday, the Jackets took the ice at Madison Square Garden on Sunday to face a rested New York Rangers team that most recently lost in overtime to the bottom-dwelling San Jose Sharks on Thursday.
"I thought we managed the game a bit better ," Jackets coach Brad Larsen said."They had their push there in the second and had some good looks, but we were doing a good job. I thought Daniil in net was outstanding. ... We learned from the game before. We didn't get frustrated." With 2:06 left in the first period, defenseman Zach Werenski opened the scoring as he tucked a loose puck past Rangers goaltender Jaroslav Halak. Werenski started the sequence by intercepting a New York pass in the defensive zone and leading the rush up the ice, before feeding forward Liam Foudy as he crossed the offensive blue line. Halak couldn't corral Foudy's shot attempt, leaving the puck free for Werenski to push under Halak's pads.
The Rangers had nearly five minutes of power play time near the end of the second period, including 1:15 of a five-on-three advantage. Tarasov made several saves on dangerous looks for the Rangers, but a wide-open shot from Artemi Panarin in the slot beat Tarasov cleanly in the final second of the five-on-three. Despite the penalties, Columbus still maintained a 3-1 lead at the second intermission.
