CAR 5, CBJ 2: Hurricanes’ Power Play Storm Overwhelms Blue Jackets
The Columbus Blue Jackets couldn’t keep up with the Carolina Hurricanes' red-hot power play, surrendering three man-advantage goals in a 5-2 loss at Nationwide Arena on Tuesday night. Kirill Marchenko and Adam Fantilli snapped goal droughts for the Jackets, but a three-point night from Nikolaj Ehlers and a dominant special teams performance powered the Hurricanes to victory as Columbus’ late-season slide continued.
A fourth straight game with an injury. This one was Isac Lundestrom, who head coach Rick Bowness did not have an update on after the game. Said he’ll be reevaluated Wednesday. #CBJ
