Chris Clark, Jakub Voracek and Mike Commodore scored unanswered goals in the second period to lift the visiting Columbus Blue Jackets to a 4-3 victory over the Anaheim Ducks on Friday night.
Corey Perry, Bobby Ryan and Saku Koivu tallied for the Ducks (10-9-3), who have lost four straight after winning six in a row, and had their five-game home winning streak snapped.
Rick Nash scored in the first period for the Blue Jackets (10-7-0), who have won two straight – both on the road – and are 6-1-0 away from home this season. Nash has five goals in his last four games in his seven-game point streak.
Voracek beat Jonas Hiller with a wrist shot to give Columbus a 3-2 lead at 13:48, and Commodore’s soft wrist shot from the point got past Hiller at 16:56.
The Blue Jackets snapped an 0-for-18 drought on the power play when Clark scored at 5:26, a backhanded redirection of a Commodore slap shot to make it 2-2. Twenty-five seconds earlier, Ryan gave the Ducks a 2-1 lead with a shorthanded breakaway goal.
The Ducks’ Teemu Selanne, who left the game midway through the third period, had an assist to pass Alex Delvecchio and move into 32nd on the NHL career points list with 1,282.
