LIV CEO: League has backing to finish '26 season
LIV Golf CEO Scott O'Neil assures financial backing for the 2026 season amid funding concerns.
The Blue Jackets defeated the Canadiens 5-2, keeping their playoff hopes alive. Boone Jenner and Charlie Coyle were standout players, contributing significantly to the victory.
Boone Jenner (12), C****harlie Coyle (19,20-PPG), Kirill Marchenko (27-GWG), and Sean Monahan (13) powered the Blue Jackets' offense in a 5-2 win over the Montreal Canadiens on Saturday night.
Jet Greaves stopped 20 of 22 Montreal shots, including 4 of 5 on the power play, to pick up his 26th win of the season.
Canadien Cole Caufield scored his 51st goal of the season, but it wasn't enough to beat the desperate Blue Jackets.
Captain Boone Jenner got the scoring started when he scored just 1:13 into the game. Jenner has been criticized in the last few games due to some bad penalties, but on Saturday night, he was amazing. He had a goal, 3 shots, and won 73.3% of his faceoffs to lead the Jackets.
Charlie Coyle was also huge in this game. He scored two goals and won 68.4% of his faceoffs. Columbus was in dire need of their vets to lead them to a win, and they did just that.
The Blue Jackets had a goal called back due to goalie interference, which seemed to be a bad call. The goal was called back even though the contact seemed to be incidental at best. It could've made a huge impact in this game, but ultimately it didn't. The Jackets got lucky on that one.
The Blue Jackets needed to win a big game, and they did just that. They still sit two points back of the Philadelphia Flyers and need to win out. Their next games are against the Boston Bruins later today, and the Washington Capitals on Tuesday night, in what night be Alex Ovechkin's last NHL game.
It all comes down the final two games, just like last season.
