The Blue Jackets also last hit the ice Sunday, as they rallied from a 3-1 second -eriod defecit to score four unanswered goals in the final 20 minutes to beat the Vancouver Canucks 5-3.
Kevin Stenlund, Riley Nash, Zach Werenski, Emil Bemstrom and Gustav Nyquist all provided the markers, while Joonas Korpisalo got into rhythm to make 36 saves to record his 19th win of the season.
It was a massive win for the Blue Jackets as they remain right in the thick of things in the Eastern Conference playoff race with 78 points, three points ahead of the Carolina Hurricanes for the final wild-card spot.
"I think we can build on this and gain some momentum," Blue Jackets defender Zach Werenski told Jeff Svoboda of NHL.com. "We can learn from this, learn how we have to play to be successful.
"It's been a tough stretch for us, but we're still right there in the thick of things and this was a big win for us tonight."
Sunday's victory over the Canucks was only the second win in their last 12 games (2-5-3-2) as they have been on the wrong side of a handful of overtime and shootout results.
To make matters worse for the Blue Jackets, GM Jarmo Kekalainenannounced that top-goal scorer Oliver Bjorkstrandwill be out for approximately eight-to-10 weeks to repair a sprain and hairline fratcure on his ankle the forward suffered back on Feb. 20 vs. Philadelphia. The news comes just a day after forward Josh Anderson underwent successful surgery to repair a posterior labral tear of his left shoulder to end his season.
