Kent Johnson scores in OT as Blue Jackets beat Rangers 1-0 behind Jet Greaves'
shutout
COLUMBUS, Ohio (AP) --- Kent Johnson scored with 1:33 remaining on the clock in
overtime, Jet Greaves got his fifth career shutout and the Columbus Blue
Jackets beat the New York Rangers 1-0 on Saturday night.
Charlie Coyle brought the puck into the zone and passed to Zach Werenski near
the left faceoff circle. Werenski then found Johnson in the slot, who fired a
wrist shot past Rangers goaltender Dylan Garand for his team-leading fourth
goal of the season as the Blue Jackets snapped a two-game slide.
It was Werenski's 22nd career point in overtime. With seven goals and 15
assists, he passed Seth Jones for most overtime points in franchise history.
It was the fourth time the Blue Jackets won 1-0 in overtime. The previous
occasion was Feb. 4, 2020, against the Florida Panthers.
Greaves stopped 29 shots in his first shutout since Feb. 4 last season against
Chicago.
Garand made 28 saves for the Rangers (6-3-1), who have dropped their past two
games. They went on the power play three times in the third period, but were
unable to convert.
New York's Alexis Lafrenire had a six-game point streak snapped. He also
posted a six-game run in 2021-22.
