Blue Jackets' Boone Jenner Leads 5-1 Victory Over Stars Amid Dallas's Third Straight Loss

Columbus Blue Jackets captain Boone Jenner scored a power-play goal and assisted another in the first period, leading his team to a 5-1 victory over the Dallas Stars, who are experiencing their third consecutive loss. Jenner's goal, which was the game-winner, came after a play where Charlie Coyle passed the puck through the legs of a Dallas defenseman, and he has scored six points in six games this season. Other Columbus scorers included Adam Fantilli, Denton Mateychuk, Dmitri Voronkov, and Kent Johnson, while Elvis Merzlikins stopped 22 shots. Dallas, coached by Glen Gulutzan in his return after 12 years, had started strong with three wins but have now only scored five goals in their last three games. Tyler Seguin scored Dallas's lone goal by deflecting a shot from Colin Blackwell, who was denied multiple times by Merzlikins. The Blue Jackets have achieved consecutive wins for the first time this season and will next face Washington at home, while Dallas prepares for a home game against the Los Angeles Kings.
