COLUMBUS www.officialcapitals.com , Ohio (AP) — The Columbus Blue Jackets continued to load up ahead of the NHL trade deadline by acquiring forward Ryan Dzingel from the Ottawa Senators on Saturday.Columbus sent winger Anthony Duclair and 2020 and 2021 second-round picks to Ottawa for Dzingel and a 2019 seventh-round pick. It’s the second trade in as many days between the teams, after the Blue Jackets got center Matt Duchene from the Senators for a package including a first-round draft pick and prospects.The trade was announced shortly after Duchene had a goal and an assist in his new team’s 4-0 win over San Jose.Dzingel, like Duchene, can be an unrestricted free agent this summer. The 26-year-old has 22 goals and 22 assists in 57 games this season, and his 44 points are a career high.Columbus general manager Jarmo Kekalainen said Dzingel “will be a great fit with our group.”“He has local ties having played at Ohio State and in talking to him (he’s) very excited about coming back to Columbus, being a Blue Jacket and helping us as we move forward Washington Capitals T-Shirts Authentic ,” Kekalainen said.Duclair, 23, had been criticized recently by Columbus coach John Tortorella for having bad listening skills and his play away from the puck. He’s on a one-year deal and can be a restricted free agent this offseason. He has 11 goals and eight assists in 53 games this season and will join fifth NHL team.“In Anthony Duclair, we’ve acquired a talented young winger who has a history of scoring goals in the league,” Senators general manager Pierre Dorion said. “We plan to give him the opportunity to succeed here and expect that his speed and skill set will allow him to fit as part of our future.”After this trade, Ottawa now can have as many as 16 picks over the next three drafts Washington Capitals Hoodies Authentic , including conditional picks that aren’t guaranteed.“We’re pleased with the futures we’ve received in this deal,” Dorion said. “The two second-round picks add to the significant depth of quality selections we’ll have available to us in the next three drafts to fuel our rebuild.”Columbus picks up another key forward for the stretch run as it hopes to make the playoffs for the third straight season.The biggest trade for Columbus could be yet to come. Russian stars Artemi Panarin and Sergei Bobrovsky have declined to sign contract extensions with the Blue Jackets, and one or both could be traded before the 3 p.m. Monday deadline. NEW YORK (AP) — After the New York Rangers squandered another late lead at home, goalie Henrik Lundqvist was at a loss for words.Pierre-Luc Dubois scored 31 seconds into overtime and the Columbus Blue Jackets beat New York 4-3 on Thursday night for their fifth straight victory.Columbus tied the game with less than three minutes left in regulation, and the Rangers lost in extra time for the fifth time in their last six home games.“It’s really frustrating. I don’t know what to say anymore,” said Lundqvist Washington Capitals Hats Authentic , who made 25 saves. “That’s how it’s been going the last few weeks. It’s only on us.”The Rangers took a 3-2 lead on Chris Kreider’s second goal of the game at 12:06 of the third period and appeared to go ahead by two several minutes later on a goal by Ryan Strome, but Columbus coach John Tortorella challenged the play and it was ruled offside.Blue Jackets defenseman Zach Werenski then tied it at 17:40 when he scored his seventh of the season after the puck went back to him at the point and he fired it past Lundqvist.The 20-year-old Dubois won it with his 14th goal of the season.“We found a way,” Tortorella said.Backup goaltender Joonas Korpisalo finished with 19 saves for Columbus.The teams played a generally haphazard and at times listless game after the three-day Christmas break. And once again, the victory margin was narrow. Sixteen of the last 18 games between the Rangers and Blue Jackets have been decided by one or two goals.“I thought both teams didn’t have a whole lot of juice,” said Tortorella, the former Rangers coach. “We have to try to keep getting better each day.”Columbus struck first when Oliver Bjorkstrand scored at 9:17 of the first. Bjorkstrand took a pass from Boone Jenner and beat Lundqvist with a shot from the faceoff circle to the goaltender’s right. Cam Atkinson also had an assist.Jimmy Vesey tied it for the Rangers at 13:59 with his 10th of the season. Vesey took a pass from Kevin Hayes on a 2-on-1 break before tapping the puck past Korpisalo. With the assist Custom Washington Capitals Jerseys , Hayes extended his point streak to eight games. Vladislav Namestnikov also assisted.Columbus went ahead 2-1 when David Savard’s long-range shot from the right circle beat Lundqvist at 16:08. The goal was the second for the Blue Jackets’ defenseman. Bjorkstrand and defenseman Scott Harrington assisted.The Rangers tied it with a power-play goal by Kreider at 1:45 of the second. Kreider deflected a soft shot from the point by Mats Zuccarello. Hayes also added another assist. The 26-year-old forward leads the Rangers with 31 points.Hayes has five goals and 10 assists during his eight-game scoring streak and also has nine points in his last nine games against Columbus.“When you lose, no one is happy,” Hayes said. “You want to get two points every night.”The Rangers were coming off a 3-2 home shootout loss to Philadelphia on Sunday. Starting with a Dec. 2 shootout loss to Winnipeg, their home woes have escalated and also included overtime losses to Arizona and Vegas.The Rangers have points in seven straight home games but only two of them wins, going 2-0-5 during that stretch. New York is 3-6-5 overall since Nov. 23.And with a 4-10-2 road record, they are facing seven of their next nine games away from home — where they haven’t won in regulation yet this season.“We certainly can’t let this get in the way of us moving on www.officialhockeyjetsshop.com ,” coach David Quinn said. “The bottom line is we had chances to do things right. That’s the only thing we can control. We didn’t execute what we were supposed to do.”Korpisalo made his first start since Dec. 11, when he lost 3-2 to Vancouver. Columbus had been 5-0-1 since behind starter Sergei Bobrovsky.“We were a little inconsistent. It was one of those games where it was lucky for us to get the last goal,” Bjorkstrand said. “These are huge points. They will mean a lot at the end of the season.”NOTES: Korpisalo also played in the previous game between the Rangers and Blue Jackets when New York won 5-4 in a shootout at Columbus on Nov. 10. … The Rangers and Blue Jackets meet again Jan. 13 in Columbus and April 5 at Madison Square Garden. … The Rangers scratched defenseman Tony DeAngelo and injured forward Jesper Fast. … New York again played without defenseman Kevin Shattenkirk, sidelined with a shoulder injury sustained Dec. 10 against Tampa Bay. … Columbus scratched defenseman Dean Kukan and forward Lukas Sedlak.UP NEXTBlue Jackets: Host the Toronto Maple Leafs on Friday.Rangers: Visit the Nashville Predators on Saturday.
