COLUMBUS Peter Budaj Jersey Womens , Ohio (AP) — The Columbus Blue Jackets extended their win streak to four games and stayed in the thick of the battle at the top of the tough Metropolitan Division. The team’s productive top line is a big reason why.Pierre-Luc Dubois, Artemi Panarin and Cam Atkinson each had a goal and an assist on Tuesday night as the Blue Jackets beat the New Jersey Devils 4-1.All three have recorded points in the past four games, with Atkinson scoring in each of the past three. He’s got a team-leading 27 goals and will be on his way to the NHL All-Star Game at the end of the month.“When everybody contributes like that, it’s hard to beat us,” said Dubois, who has five points in the four-game stretch.Boone Jenner also scored and Joonas Korpisalo had 29 saves for the Blue Jackets, who have won 11 of the last 14 games while sparring with Washington and Pittsburgh atop the 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.“Korpi has earned the time, just through his play,” Columbus coach John Tortorella said. “Korpi deserved to play tonight.”Blake Coleman scored and Keith Kinkaid had 30 saves for the Devils, who saw a two-game winning streak end as they struggle to stay out of the Metro basement.“It’s beyond frustrating,” Devils veteran winger Brian Boyle said. “You try to get some traction going. We work extremely hard. It’s been months of not (getting) the results we wanted.”Coach Hynes said some players lacked effort on the second night of a back-to-back. New Jersey got a wild 8-5 win over Chicago on Monday night.“It was just some individuals who were not ready to go and compete at the level we need them to compete at,” Hynes said. “I wouldn’t necessarily say it was the whole team.”The Blue Jackets grabbed the lead early and didn’t let up.Atkinson tipped in a pass from Dubois 45 seconds into the game. Less than two minutes later Andrew Hammond Jersey Womens , Josh Anderson, off a faceoff from the right circle, fed Jenner, who beat Kinkaid from the slot.Late in the first, David Savard grabbed a face off and slid a beautiful pass from the left corner to the doorstep, setting up Panarin for an easy tip-in and a 3-0 Columbus lead.Early in the second, Dubois snapped in a shot from the left circle for the Blue Jackets’ fourth power-play goal in four games.Coleman redirected a shot by Mirco Mueller late in the second period to ruin Korpisalo’s shutout.“I’m pretty comfortable,” Korpisalo said. “The way we play right now it’s pretty easy to play behind them. Like today, I don’t think there were any dangerous shots. They just clear the pucks in front of me, block shots and it makes me confident to play behind them.”NOTES: Columbus coach John Tortorella coached his 285th game with the team, passing Ken Hitchcock for the franchise record. He is the franchise’s leader in wins (156-102-26). … New Jersey F Miles Wood was out with an undisclosed injury suffered in the game Monday night. … Coleman has five goals and two assists in the last five games.UP NEXT:New Jersey: At New York Islanders on Thursday.Columbus: Hosts Montreal on Friday. LAS VEGAS (AP) — Vegas’ Nate Schmidt has acknowledged there are times that playing hockey isn’t fun, including losing to the Washington Capitals in the Stanley Cup finals.The defenseman erased some of that pain on Tuesday night.Schmidt scored twice in the final two minutes to lift the Golden Knights over the Capitals 5-3.It was the first time Washington skated at T-Mobile Arena since winning and hoisting Stanley Cup in June.“(Coach Gerard Gallant) really came in here in the second period J.T. Brown Jersey Womens , and hasn’t done it much, and challenged our group to go out and have a better third period,” Schmidt said. “And I think up and down our lineup our guys responded, and I think that’s the important part about tonight’s game.”With the game tied 3-3, Schmidt burst through the neutral zone and beat goalie Braden Holtby with a tiebreaking wrist shot with 1:24 left for his first goal of the season. The former Capitals player added an empty-netter moments later.“It was an emotional game, it was a big win and I like the way our team responded to a challenge,” Schmidt said. “That’s the reason you play hockey, is games like that. You had the lead changes, you had swings, you had them buzzing and we were going. It was just a great hockey game. Those are the types of things you want to be a part of. Over 82 games, you’ve got to find some things to get yourself up for, and that was one of them.”Ryan Reaves Tomas Plekanec Jersey Womens , Pierre Edouard-Bellemare and Cody Eakin also scored for the Golden Knights, while Marc-Andre Fleury made 23 saves.Jakub Vrana had two goals and Alex Ovechkin scored for Washington. Holtby also stopped 23 shots.Reaves and Washington’s oft-suspended Tom Wilson renewed their fierce rivalry, with several brutal hits that ignited the crowd, including a vicious shoulder-to-shoulder connection that ended Wilson’s night in the second period. After trading shots and verbal jabs throughout the first two periods, Reaves leveled Wilson, who was helped from the ice. Reaves was ejected and given a game misconduct penalty.“That was a man’s game out there. . I thought he was just looking at his pass, and he ran into a lion in the jungle,” said Reaves, who added he didn’t believe the hit was ejection-worthy. “If he sees me, I know he’s gonna try and lay me out and I’m not gonna let that happen. I thought it was shoulder to shoulder and I didn’t think it was that late.”Said Gallant: “I think we all seen the hit and video, it’s a clean hit, there’s nothing wrong with the hit. Unfortunate a player got hurt Tomas Tatar Jersey Womens , but it was a clean hit.”Washington coach Todd Reirden said Wilson would be re-evaluated Wednesday.“That was something that he targeted him,” Reirden said. “Reaves targeted him the entire game. You could hear it on every faceoff, you could hear the things that were being said and it’s a blindside hit where an unsuspecting player hits his head on the ice. That’s disappointing. You can put two and two together but he targeted him the entire game.”As a result of Reaves’ ejection, the Golden Knights were forced to kill a five-minute penalty that stretched from the end of the second period to the start of the third. The Golden Knights rank third in the league with a penalty kill percentage of 84.9 percent. Vegas killed all four of Washington’s power play opportunities.Reaves also notched his sixth goal of the season, one shy of his career high, when he took a feed from Eakin 2:30 in. Vrana tied the game late in the period, and Ovechkin’s backhand gave the Capitals a 2-1 lead during the second period. Bellemare’s redirect early in the third tied the game, and 16 seconds later, Eakin scored his team-leading 11th goal. Vrana’s second goal of the game tied the game at 3-all.“I can’t lie, this is a good feeling; in front of our crowd, it was loud, it was so much fun and Nate to score the game-winner Tom Kuhnhackl Jersey Womens , that was awesome,” Fleury said. “A little story book, just a few months too late. But we’ll still take it.”NOTES: Two-time World Series champion Shane Victorino and wife Melissa attended the game. … Vegas’ Daniel Carr played in his 100th game. … Ovechkin is one shot shy from 5,000 for his career. … The Capitals have scored three or more goals in nine straight and 20 of 27 games this season, including 10 games with five or more goals. In games when the Capitals scored three or more goals, Washington is 14-3-3. The Capitals are 1-6-0 when scoring two or fewer goals. … Eakin’s goal was his 200th point.UP NEXTCapitals: Visits Arizona on Thursday night.Golden Knights: Hosts Chicago on Thursday night.
