NHL News: Kirill Marchenko, Blue Jackets turn back Stars

Added to Favorite


Kirill Marchenko collected two goals and an assist to fuel the host Columbus Blue Jackets to a 6-4 victory over the Dallas Stars on Tuesday night.

Ivan Provorov and Adam Fantilli each recorded a goal and an assist for Columbus, and Mathieu Olivier and James van Riemsdyk also tallied.

Elvis Merzlikins made 19 saves for the Blue Jackets, who have won two in a row following a four-game winless skid (0-3-1).

Defenseman Zach Werenski, however, was held off the scoresheet to halt his home point streak at 22 games.

Dallas’ Jason Robertson followed up his hat trick on Sunday by scoring his team-leading 24th goal of the season.

Robertson also had an assist, while captain Jamie Benn, Roope Hintz and Mavrik Bourque each scored a goal and Jake Oettinger turned aside 23 shots for the Stars, who saw their three-game winning streak come to a halt.

Columbus saw its 4-1 lead trimmed to a single goal after Hintz converted his own rebound at 9:38 of the second period and Robertson took advantage of a turnover to beat Merzlikins.

The Blue Jackets, however, killed off a double minor late in the second and van Riemsdyk deflected Sean Kuraly’s shot past Oettinger at 2:37 of the third.

Bourque brought Dallas back within one by scoring from the doorstep, but Fantilli found the open net to seal the win.

Columbus scored 30 seconds into the first period after Marchenko cleaned up a juicy rebound following a shot from the point by Provorov.

Olivier deftly deflected a shot from the point by defenseman Damon Severson to double the Blue Jackets’ advantage just more than four minutes later.

Benn banged home a rebound to halve the deficit at 9:37 of the first period before Marchenko converted a give-and-go with Fantilli at 1:11 of the second. Marchenko scored in the slot for his career-high-tying 23rd goal of the season and fifth in his last seven games.

Provorov wired a shot from the point past a screened Oettinger to give Columbus a 4-1 lead at 8:46 of the second period.
