Fantilli & Olivier of Blue Jackets combines five goals in Rangers’ Rout -Rangers -The Hockey Writers -Columbus Blue Jackets

With only 20 games left, each of which became the biggest game of the Columbus Blue Jackets this season. On Sunday night, they took an important step towards the New York Rangers.

Adam Fantilli recorded his second hat-trick of the season, while Mathieu Olivier added two goals to Madison Square Garden to lift the blue jacket to a convincing 7-3 victory. Zach Werenski had two assists and became the franchise’s ever-granted leader, assisting through Rick Nash’s 258.

The critical moment of the second phase ultimately determines the favor of the blue jacket.

Game review

The Blue Jacket opens the scoring on one of the best assists you see in less than six minutes. Werenski gives the impression that he can drive online. Instead, his pass found Justin Danforth leading 1-0.

The Blue Jacket performed well in the first 19 minutes of the game. But then the icing on the cake, missing tasks and bounced hockey lead to the goal of the bond. Artemi Panarin made his moves on the 28th of this season. This marks his goal for five straight games.

Fantilli’s performance then took over in the second phase. He scored twice in 26 seconds to lead 3-1. The first one is a sniper. He lost the second one and was buried in front of Jonathan.

The Blue Jacket then gained a two-goal lead in power play. Rather than putting it at 4-1, the Rangers converted with two short goals to 3-3. The first one comes from Braden Schneider. The second is a 2-to-0 breakthrough from Chris Kreider.

The blue jacket must regain power at a critical moment. After spending about 10 minutes to resolve the issue, Olivier was in charge. He opened the net and obtained a 4-3 pass from Werenski. The team never looked back.

Dante Fabbro expanded it to 5-3 after a shot from a distance. The blue jacket then added two pieces in the middle of the third phase, making it 7-3. Olivier won the second night’s match by Zac Jones’ own goal. The puck quickly hit his glove. Fantilli then completed a hat trick. He became the youngest player in the team’s history, recording multiple hat tricks in the same season (20 years 148 days).

Daniil Tarasov once again solidified in MSG, making 32 saves that night. Quick played the entire game and allowed 27 photos.

The Blue Jackets are on Tuesday night’s next most important game of the Hudson River season against Newark’s New Jersey Devils. The gap between the two teams is four points. In nine games in 16 days, the Rangers headed to Winnipeg for the Jets Tuesday night.
