COLUMBUS, Ohio (AP) – Evander Kane scored two power-play goals, as the Winnipeg Jets held on to beat the Blue Jackets 4-2 on Tuesday night.
Jordan Leopold and Ryan Johansen scored for the banged-up Blue Jackets, who are on a franchise-record pace for games lost to injuries. Columbus entered tied for the fewest points in the NHL and have lost four in a row and 13 of 15.
Bryan Little and Andrew Ladd both had a goal and an assist, and Blake Wheeler and Jacob Trouba added two assists apiece for Winnipeg, which snapped a two-game losing streak.
Rookie goalie Michael Hutchinson made 32 saves to improve to 4-1-1.
The Blue Jackets return to action on Friday when they host the Vancouver Canucks at Nationwide Arena.
