Murray, Kessel lead Penguins to another win over Blue Jackets:
Phil Kessel scored for the first time in 17 games for the Penguins. Nick Bjugstad collected his ninth of the season for Pittsburgh. Sidney Crosby took a high stick from Columbus' Boone Jenner in the third period but returned to add an empty-net goal and extend his goal streak to six consecutive games as the Penguins created a little bit of breathing room between themselves and the Blue Jackets in the race for a playoff spot in the crowded Eastern Conference.
The Blue Jackets went all-in at last week's trade deadline, but the decision to bring in Matt Duchene, Ryan Dzingel and Adam McQuaid hasn't exactly provided an immediate spark. Columbus is 2-4 since the trio's arrival, with two losses coming at the hands of the Penguins. Tortorella decided to challenge the goal, claiming goaltender's interference, but the call stood and Tortorella burned his only timeout before most of his players had even broken a sweat.
