Blue Jackets make it seven straight wins, beat Oilers 3-1
EDMONTON — The Columbus Blue Jackets didn’t start strong. But the way they finished was all that mattered.
Sam Gagner had a goal and an assist as the red-hot Blue Jackets won their seventh straight game with a 3-1 victory over the Edmonton Oilers on Tuesday.
“I thought the team took a little while to get going, but once we started playing, I thought we had a good second half of the game and (goalie Sergei Bobrovsky) played great for us again and that’s a big one for us,” Gagner said. “I think we’re on a good run here and we want to keep pushing forward.”
Cam Atkinson and Matt Calvert also scored for the Blue Jackets (18-5-4), who have gone 8-0-1 in their last nine games.
