The Columbus Blue Jackets grab their third straight win, topping the Florida Panthers 4-2 on Thursday night. Matieu Olivier scored twice, including an empty netter to seal it, while Ivan Provorov tallied a goal and two assists to lead the charge. Boon Jenner added the other Columbus goal early in the third period, and goal tender jet grieves turned aside 26 shots for the victory. The Panthers got goals from Nikol Mikaela and Sam Bennett, with Aaron Eckblatt picking up two assists, but Daniel Tarasov could only stop 23 shots in the loss. This extends Columbus's hot streak to 14 wins, two losses, and one tie over their past 17 games, boosting them to 32 wins. 21 losses and eight overtime losses. Florida has now dropped four in a row, sitting at 30 wins, 29 losses, and three overtime losses.

1:00Late drama came when a potential tie-in goal by Gustav Forsling got wiped out on a successful goal-tender interference challenge. Defenseman Zach Warnsky missed his third game with illness, and Ford Mason-Marchman left after a second period spill.
