Boeser, Lankinen lead the Canucks to a 4-3 victory over the Blue Jackets
VANCOUVER, British Columbia (AP) — Brock Boeser broke a tie on a partial breakaway with 5:45 left in the Vancouver Canucks’ 4-3 victory over the Columbus Blue Jackets on Saturday night.
Boeser took a long pass from Kiefer Sherwood, got behind the defense and beat Elvis Merzlikins with a shot over the glove.
Conor Garland, Drew O’Connor and Jake DeBrusk also scored for the Canucks in the first game of a back-to-back. Kevin Lankinen stopped 29 shots.
Kirill Marchenko had two goals and an assist for Columbus. Dmitri Voronkov had a goal and two assists, and Merzlikins made 21 saves.
Marchenko tied it at 3 midway through the third. It came 3:30 after Garland gave the Canucks the lead off a pretty play by defenseman Tyler Myers.
