Severson breaks 3rd-period tie in the Blue Jackets' 3-2 win over the Predators
COLUMBUS, Ohio (AP) --- Damon Severson broke a tie with a snap shot from the
point through traffic at 6:07 of the third period and the Columbus Blue Jackets
beat the Nashville Predators 3-2 on Tuesday night to open a four-game homestand.
Both teams played Monday night, with Columbus beating the Rangers 5-4 in
overtime in New York, and Nashville falling 4-2 at home to Detroit.
Adam Fantilli and Sean Monahan also scored for Columbus, with Monahan tying it
at 2 at 1:52 of the third with a short-handed goal. He also had a short-handed
goal Monday in New York.
Jet Greaves made 20 saves for Columbus in 51:44, missing an 8:16 stretch of the
first period because of concussion protocol after Nick Blankenburg caught him
with an elbow on the side of the head on a rush. Elvis Merzlikins stopped both
shots on faced before Greaves returned.
Filip Forsberg had a power-play goal for Nashville, and Ryan O'Reilly was
credited with a goal in the second that a Columbus player put in. O'Reilly was
cut below the eye taking a faceoff midway through the third.
Justus Annunen stopped 24 shots for the Predators.
Before the game, Nashville traded center Michael McCarron to Minnesota for a
2028 second-round pick.
Up next Predators: Host Boston on Thursday night. Blue Jackets: Host Florida on Thursday night. ___ AP NHL: https://apnews.com/hub/nhla |
