Jackets Let Lead Slip Way, but Sink Penguins in Shootout
Columbus secured their first regulation win in Pittsburgh since 2015, ending a 16-game winless streak in regulation at the Penguins’ home arena.
- On Oct. 25, the Columbus Blue Jackets beat the host Pittsburgh Penguins 5-4 in a shootout at PPG Paints Arena with Kent Johnson, Adam Fantilli and Kirill Marchenko scoring while Evgeni Malkin missed the decisive shot.
- After a 5-1 loss on Friday, Columbus Blue Jackets carried play with first-season goals from Yegor Chinakhov and Charlie Coyle, while Dmitri Voronkov scored twice.
- With minutes left, Pittsburgh rallied when Kris Letang and Bryan Rust scored two minutes apart to force overtime, aided by back-to-back power plays, and Columbus outshot Pittsburgh three to one during overtime before the shootout.
- Goaltending contrasted as Elvis Merzlikins made 24 saves, including a sprawling overtime glove stop, while Arturs Silovs stopped 36 shots but allowed all three Columbus shootout attempts.
- The loss ended Pittsburgh's four-game winning streak and the result resembled Columbus's Jan. 7 shootout win that halted a long Penguins streak; the victory helped Columbus split its first back-to-back and improved road form after struggles away from Nationwide Arena last season.
