Jackets win 4th in a row

Joonas Korpisalo had 29 saves, three Columbus players recorded a goal and an assist and the host Blue Jackets beat the New Jersey Devils 4-1 on Tuesday night.

Top-liners Artemi Panarin, Pierre-Luc Dubois and Cam Atkinson carried the offensive load, and Boone Jenner also scored as Columbus won its fourth un a row. The Blue Jackets have won six of their last eight games and 11 of the last 14 while sparring with Washington and Pittsburgh atop the Metropolitan Division.

Korpisalo has started three of the last four games ahead of star Sergei Bobrovsky and won each time. The 24-year-old Finn could soon find himself the team’s No.1 goalie as Bobrovsky has refused to sign a contract extension with Columbus and may be traded before the deadline next month.

Islanders 2, Blues 1 (OT): Valtteri Filppula scored 1:37 into overtime and host New York beat St. Louis for its 12th win in 15 games.

Jordan Eberle had a goal in the first period for New York, and Robin Lehner stopped 30 shots.

David Perron scored the tying goal in the third period for the Blues, and Jordan Binnington finished with 23 saves. St. Louis had won three in a row and five of its previous seven.

Rangers 6, Hurricanes 2: Mika Zibanejad had two goals and two assists to help host New York beat Carolina. Pavel Buchnevich and Tony DeAngelo each scored twice and Mats Zuccarello added three assists as the Rangers won for only the second time in eight games. Henrik Lundqvist made 24 saves for his 444th win, one behind Terry Sawchuk for sixth place on the career list.
