Blue Jackets 5, Flyers 2: Matt Calvert scored twice while Brandon Dubinsky and Ryan Johansen each recorded a goal and an assist as visiting Columbus halted Philadelphia's nine-game point streak (6-0-3).

Defenseman James Wisniewski also tallied for the Blue Jackets, who improved to 1-1-0 on their five-game road trip. Former Flyer Scott Hartnell extended his point streak to seven games with a pair of assists, Alexander Wennberg also set up two goals and Curtis McElhinney made 42 saves for Columbus, which was without Nick Foligno due to a lower-body injury.

Blue-liner Michael Del Zotto scored a goal and set up Wayne Simmonds' tally for the Flyers, who lost four of the five games in the season series (1-2-2). Ray Emery turned aside 20 shots as Philadelphia lost in regulation for the first time since Jan. 19 against the New York Islanders.

Columbus needed only eight seconds of power-play time to cash in and take the lead, as Wisniewski buried a shot from the right faceoff circle at 4:51 of the first period. The Blue Jackets doubled the advantage 1:48 later, when defenseman David Savard's shot from the right point pinballed off Corey Tropp, Johansen and Flyers blue-liner Luke Schenn's stick before entering the net.

Del Zotto played a major role in knotting the contest as his shot from the left point was deflected in by Simmonds with 2:35 left in the second session and his blast from along the left-wing boards sailed past McElhinney 1:43 later. Columbus capitalized on a turnover moments after Emery made a superb save on Cam Atkinson, who received a pass from Dubinsky and set up Calvert alone on the doorstep at 9:54 of the third to snap the tie.
