Columbus Blue Jackets extend season’s winning streak to five with strong play against St. Louis Blues

The Columbus Blue Jackets continued their surge up the NHL standings with a gritty 5-3 road victory over the St. Louis Blues at Enterprise Center on Saturday, extending their winning streak to a season-high five games. In a match that tested the depth and determination of both teams, the Columbus Blue Jackets once again showed that they have what it takes to get the job done under pressure, cementing their reputation as one of the hottest teams in the league.
Playing their third game in four nights and with a short bench, the Columbus Blue Jackets had all the depth and determination they could handle in order to come away with the win on the road. This win showed how much the Blue Jackets have improved since the hiring of Rick Bowness as their head coach in mid-January.

Kent Johnson's power play restored Columbus Blue Jackets's lead against St. Louis Blues

The tone was set offensively by Kent Johnson with a goal and an assist, while Damon Severson delivered the season-ending blow in the middle of the third period to seal a 3-3 tie. Mason Marchment added insurance with an empty-net goal, while Jet Greaves made 28 saves, including a busy third period where fatigue became a factor for the visitors.
The Blue Jackets have now extended their record to 8-1-0 as they fought off momentum swings, penalty problems, and lineup antics to once again scrape out two more points in Saturday's game. Zach Werenski extended his hot streak by chipping in an assist, extending his point streak to five games and quietly leading the Columbus blue line with consistency.
For St. Louis, the loss is just another painful installment in what has been a trying stretch of games that has seen the Blues lose six of their last seven. Despite strong play from Snuggerud, Berggren, and Brayden Schenn, the Blues found themselves once again playing catch-up.
On the other hand, the Blue Jackets are continuing to rack up the wins and it is clear that confidence is growing in the room. Even with legs tired and lines mixed and matched, Columbus is finding ways to get the job done, which is a positive sign as the season wears on and expectations begin to shift.
