NHL roundup: Senators get past Blue Jackets


NHL Roundup

Senators 2, Blue Jackets 1 — Nick Foligno scored a power-play goal with 6:10 left to help host Ottawa win Thursday night.

Foligno moved out from behind the net to put a backhander past Steve Mason with Columbus defenseman Jan Hejda in the penalty box. Jason Spezza scored late in the first period and Brian Elliott stopped 32 shots in his third consecutive start for Ottawa, whose four-game winning streak ended with a 3-1 loss in New Jersey a night earlier.

Kristian Huselius scored a power-play goal for the Blue Jackets, who dropped their fourth in a row to close out their longest trip of the season with a 1-3-1 mark.


Referee Dave Jackson sustained a knee injury when Columbus captain Rick Nash crashed into him in the right corner 7:51 in.

Tripped behind the Senators' net by Ottawa defenseman Filip Kuba, Nash slid skates first into Jackson's legs, knocking the referee to the ice in obvious pain. Jackson favored his right leg as he was helped off the ice.

He did not return, leaving Frederick L'Ecuyer to work solo the rest of the game.

Canucks 4, Kings 1 — Henrik Sedin set up Vancouver's first goal and scored the go-ahead goal 3:54 into the third period, leading Vancouver to victory at home.

Tanner Glass jammed in a rebound just over 3 minutes later, Kyle Wellwood scored his first of the season into an empty net with 5.3 seconds left, and Roberto Luongo made 31 saves as Vancouver won for the third time in four games.
