The Jackets were back in action after the Christmas break, and were again without captain Nick Foligno. Now, on to the highlights:
FIRST PERIOD
- CBJ Penalty at 2:50 into the first. Scott Hartnell to the box for slashing Jonathan Marchessault's stick. Penalty killed.
- TAMPA GOAL: Andrej Sustr point shot, redirected up and over Korpisalo's pads by former Jacket Mike Blunden.
- CBJ GOAL: David Clarkson stupid turnover, Tampa turning up the offensive pressure. Jackets gain possession, move the puck up-ice. Tampa failed clear, Boone Jenner gathers puck, spins, and fires shot on-net, where it was redirected off the skate of Rene Bourque.
