Ryan Johansen’s goal, assist lead Blue Jackets to 4-2 win over Oilers

COLUMBUS, Ohio – Ryan Johansen had a goal and an assist for his third multipoint game this season to lead the Columbus Blue Jackets past the Edmonton Oilers 4-2 on Friday night.

Artem Anisimov, Nick Foligno and Jack Skille also scored for Columbus, which won for only the second time in its last eight home games. The Blue Jackets dominated with an aggressive forecheck — until the Oilers scored twice late in the third period — to make amends for a 7-0 defeat in Edmonton last week.

Matt Calvert added two assists and Sergei Bobrovsky made 25 saves for Columbus.

Bobrovsky outplayed fellow Russian and former Philadelphia Flyers teammate Ilya Bryzgalov, who stopped 19 shots and was replaced by Devan Dubnyk at the start of the third period.
