Blue Jackets 4, Rangers 2: The Columbus Blue Jackets beat the New York Rangers 4-2 for a club record seventh consecutive home win.
The Blue Jackets scored the go-ahead goal short-handed at 11:35 of the third period. Matt Calvert, who left blood on the ice earlier in the game after taking a puck to the forehead, found the net while teammate David Savard was in the penalty box for cross-checking.
Capitals 1, Red Wings 0: Jay Beagle scored with 5:11 left, Braden Holtby stopped 25 shots, and the Washington Capitals defeated the slumping Detroit Red Wings 1-0.

Blackhawks 3, Flames 2: Marian Hossa’s late goal lifted the Chicago Blackhawks to a 3-2 win over the Calgary Flames.
