COLUMBUS, Ohio (AP) — Less than a week ago, Columbus forward Josh Anderson was sidelined by a lower body injury.
Good thing for the Blue Jackets, he heals quickly.
Anderson had a goal and an assist as the Blue Jackets rallied to beat the Florida Panthers 2-1 Thursday night, pulling two points behind Washington in Metropolitan Division and the Presidents’ Trophy race for the league’s best record.
Sergei Bobrovsky finished with 33 saves for his NHL-leading 38th win, as Columbus won for the sixth time in eight games.
“The top of our division is really tight,” said Werenski.
