Kent Johnson scores in OT as Blue Jackets beat Rangers 1-0 behind Jet Greaves’ shutout
In a thrilling overtime game, the Columbus Blue Jackets secured a 1-0 victory over the New York Rangers, thanks to a goal from Kent Johnson with just 1:33 left on the clock. Jet Greaves shone brilliantly, earning his fifth career shutout and becoming the Blue Jackets' leading scorer in overtime with four goals this season. Charlie Coyle set up Johnson's goal, which was his team-leading fourth of the season.
The Blue Jackets snapped their two-game losing streak with this hard-fought win. Greaves, making his first shutout since last February against Chicago, stopped 29 shots in the game. The Rangers, who have now lost their last two games, managed just 28 saves from Greaves. Alexis Lafrenière, who had been on a six-game point streak, saw his run end in this game. The Blue Jackets are now set to face the Minnesota Wild on Sunday.
