COLUMBUS – Sergei Bobrovsky made 36 saves to stifle an inept offense from the New York Rangers en route to a 2-0 win for the Columbus Blue Jackets.
“He has a mental toughness about him that I’ve seen him develop in the last three years,” Blue Jackets coach John Tortorella said.

Zach Werenski and Artemi Panarin had the Columbus goals.
“They don’t turn the puck over much,” Rangers defenseman Ryan McDonagh said. “When you’re playing against a team like that, you have make certain you’re doing the same thing, making the right read going through the neutral zone.
“When you are putting pucks behind them and put it in a spot where you can get a forecheck going, they have some mobile [defensemen]. In that second period we were creating one-and-dones in the offensive zone.”

The loss spoiled a solid effort from Henrik Lundqvist who made 40 saves in the loss.
“We made a bad mistake on the penalty kill,” Rangers head coach Alain Vigneault said. “The puck should have been down the ice. Instead of a one-shot game it’s a two-shot game against a goaltender who obviously had his game tonight.”
