After Edmonton scored the first three goals of the game Troy Brouwer Jersey , the Columbus Blue Jackets made it apparent which team was still fighting for a playoff spot and which team was already out of the
race.
Thomas Vanek had three goals and an assist to lift the Blue Jackets over the Oilers 7-3 on Tuesday night.
”We were down 3-0, but it didn’t feel like it because it was just a couple of dumb mistakes that cost us,” Vanek said. ”We felt fine about our game going into
the game and even being down 3-0 we felt OK. We showed a lot of character and it
was a big two points again.”
Artemi Panarin, Boone Jenner, Cam Atkinson and Markus Nutivaara also scored for the Blue Jackets, who have won 11 of 12. Sergei Bobrovsky stopped 22
shots.
”We just kept pushing and at the end of the day we played a really good game, I think,” said Columbus forward Alexander Wennberg, who ended the night with a
plus-six rating.
Connor McDavid had a goal and two assists Nate Schmidt Jersey , and Ryan Nugent-Hopkins and Drake Caggiula also scored for the Oilers, who have lost two straight. Cam Talbot stopped 13 of 18
shots before being replaced by Laurent Brossoit.
”It was awful, horrible,” McDavid said of his team’s collapse. ”We had the good start (tonight) and then the game just went right back to where we were at
during the start of the year. It’s disappointing as we had been pretty good of
late.”
Edmonton got on the board 3:37 into the first period when a mix-up behind the net between Bobrovsky and Nutivaara allowed McDavid to steal the puck and send
it out front to Nugent-Hopkins for his 22nd of the season. McDavid picked up his
100th point, tying his league-leading total from last year.
Linesman Steve Barton was stretchered off following a collision with McDavid in the first period. Columbus’ Zach Werenski ran into McDavid and sent him
flying into Barton, who hit his head hard on the ice. Sportsnet reported that
Barton was taken to a hospital, where he was able to speak with doctors and move
all extremities.
McDavid scored a short-handed goal later in the period, his career-high 40th of the season. He’s the first Oilers player to hit the mark since Petr Klima did
it in 1991.
Edmonton made it 3-0 on the power play midway through the first when Caggiula blasted a puck top corner past Bobrovsky.
Columbus came roaring back with a pair of goals within a minute, as Vanek’s shot caromed off a defender and past Talbot Authentic Max Domi Jersey , and then Panarin scored his 26th on a rebound.
Vanek tipped in his 23rd of the season off a shot by David Savard with 3:20 left.
Jenner put Columbus ahead with a goal 1:38 into the second, and Atkinson and Vanek followed to make it a blowout. Nutivaara piled on with a goal in the
third.

TAMPA, Fla. — Since losing the series opener at home, the Tampa Bay Lightning have won three straight to put the Boston Bruins on the verge of
elimination.
And yet the only thing the hockey world can talk about is Boston’s Brad Marchand licking Tampa Bay’s Ryan Callahan — on the face, during Game 4, like an
ice cream cone — and what should happen.
Callahan asked after the game what the difference is between licking someone’s face and spitting on them, pointing out that the penalty for the
latter is a game misconduct.
Lightning coach Jon Cooper said there’s no place for such an act in hockey.
The league came out Saturday only to say it would be reaching out to Marchand that any further licking-related problems were “unacceptable and similar
behavior in the future will be dealt with by way of supplemental
discipline.”
Call that a tongue-lashing, if you will.
The good news for the Lightning? They return home for Game 5 on Sunday afternoon at Amalie Arena with history on their side, No Lightning team has ever
blown a 3-1 lead in the playoffs TJ Brodie Jersey , and the Bruins are 0-23 in series they trailed 3-1.
The series has gone back and forth, just like Friday’s game, which saw the Lightning jump ahead 2-0, only to have Boston rally back for a 3-2 lead.
Steven Stamkos, held in check for much of the playoffs, came through with a huge goal to tie the score late in the third period, and Dan Girardi redirected
an Alex Killorn shot in front of the net for the game-winner in overtime.
The LickGate fuss has obscured some key points to the Lightning turnaround. Boston hasn’t scored an even-strength goal in the last two games, and the
Lightning have continued to score despite the Bruins effectively containing
Nikita Kucherov and Stamkos for much of the series.
And for all of Tampa Bay’s momentum, there’s a keen realization that nothing is of consequence without anondher win.
“I’ll be the first one to tell you that we’ve accomplished nothing Tom Kuhnhackl Jersey ,” Cooper told reporters. “We’re really happy where we stand. But you got to win four (games), not three. And we’re really
focused to get that fourth one.”
Boston must try to stay alive without arguably their best defenseman in Torey Krug, who injured his ankle in a Game 4 and will miss the rest of the series.
Nick Holden will step into his role Sunday.
“He did a good job for us when he went in,” Bruins coach Bruce Cassidy told NHL.com about Holden. “We’re going to miss Torey, obviously. He’s a good player
for us and really adds to our offensive side of things, but Nick’s done a good
job so in he’ll go.”
The Lightning’s quick dismissal of New Jersey in the opening round gave them a full week of rest before this series. Dispatch the Bruins on Sunday , they can
rest again, with all the other series going at least six games.
