Blue Jackets Beat Blues 3-2, Win Fourth Straight

The Columbus Blue Jackets beat the St. Louis Blues 3-2 to extend their winning streak to four games; Jet Greaves made 37 saves while Zach Werenski had a goal and an assist, Sean Monahan recorded his 600th NHL point, and Charlie Coyle also scored. The Blues dropped their seventh straight game despite a furious late push that produced 16 of the final 18 shots, and goalie Joel Hofer took his third straight loss. St. Louis has been hampered by key injuries to Robert Thomas and Jake Neighbours and is struggling with a porous penalty kill and a league-high goals-against mark. Columbus’ goaltending depth has been a factor recently — Greaves and Elvis Merzlikins have combined for a .912 save percentage — helping the team rank among the league's stingier clubs. The Blue Jackets will visit the New York Islanders on Sunday.
