Red Wings capitalize on Blue Jackets' numerous mistakes, win for second time this season in Columbus
Rather than building on that game Sunday, they lost 4-2 to the Detroit Red Wings at Nationwide Arena in a game controlled by the visitors most of the night. Detroit took a 2-0 lead in the first period, pushed it to 3-0 in the second and reasserted dominance in the third, after Columbus pulled within 3-2 on Kent Johnson’s goal for the Blue Jackets 1:58 into the period.
"Mentally we were not plugged into this one," Blue Jackets coach Brad Larsen said."You could tell. It snowballed the wrong way for us most of the night. ... there were a lot of guys that had some tough nights tonight."— Czarnik gave Detroit a 1-0 lead 6:34 into the game with a nice tip of a pass from Jonatan Berggren, rewarding the Red Wings’ fourth line for a strong shift spent in the Columbus zone.
— Bjork got the Blue Jackets on the board with 3:50 left in the second, scoring his own power play goal with a wrist shot from the top of the slot to beat Husso inside the left post. It was the second goal of his career and first since the rookie scored in his NHL debut Nov. 12 at the New York Islanders.
