A quick day off before another game tomorrow in the slug before the Christmas break. The Columbus Blue Jackets dropped the road game to Carolina, but upset the Boston Bruins in the home building.
CBJ PG 22 @ Carolina - Ear Shot
A puck to the ear did not bother Andrei Svechinkov, as he buried the game winner over the Columbus Blue Jackets, with the Carolina Hurricanes winning 3-2.
All five goals were scored in the third period.
Kirill Marchenko opened the scoring of the game with his sixth of the season from Johnny Gaudreau.
Gaudreau extends the Columbus lead with his third of the year unassisted.
Jesperi Kotkaniemi got his team on the board with his seventh of the season from Teuvo Teravainen and Martin Necas.
Brady Skeji evened the game with his third of the year from Svechinkov and Seth Jarvis.
Svech got the ear shot off for his first of the season from Sebastian Aho and Jarvis.
Pytor Kochetkov had 21 saves on 23 shots for a 0.913.
Sebastian Aho was my player to watch having an assist and a +2 in 20:04TOI.
Patrik Laine was my player to watch and was scoreless with a -1 and 15:06TOI.
Elvis Merzlikins had 40 saves on 43 shots faced for a 0.930 save percentage.
