The Columbus Blue Jackets were in a daze until power forward Mathieu Olivier used physicality to snap them out of it; Kirill Marchenko extends streak

COLUMBUS, Ohio (AP) — J.T. Miller and Vincent Trocheck scored in the shootout to give the New York Rangers their NHL-leading ninth road win, 2–1 over the Columbus Blue Jackets on Saturday night.

The Blue Jackets, with the loser's point, are on a four-game point streak during their busiest stretch of the season.

The New York Rangers (10-7-2, seventh in the Eastern Conference) host the Detroit Red Wings (10-7-1, ninth) in conference action on Sunday at 7 p.m. ET. New York claimed a 2-1 road victory against the Columbus Blue Jackets its last time out on Nov. 15, taking the shootout 2-1.

A big reason why the Rangers have been inconsistent is because their skill players haven’t pulled their weight. But all of a sudden, Artemi Panarin has nine points and a plus-four rating in his last four games, and it is ostensibly related to a haircut.

Columbus Blue Jackets captain Boone Jenner is back on IR, where he's spent time in each of the past five seasons for multiple issues.
