    POSTGAME QUOTES:
    HEAD COACH SHELDON KEEFE

    On tonight’s game:
    “I thought our effort structurally was entirely better than it was last night, so I was happy with that. Even in the first period, I thought Columbus certainly won the territorial game in the first period while our guys
    were recalibrating a little bit in terms of how we were asking them to play and you could see they were really focused on it so it took away from some of their offensive play and puck play but I liked how we defended in that period despite losing the territorial game. We didn’t give up a whole lot in terms of quality
    looks, so that was good. We built on that into the second period which I thought was an excellent period, with the exception of the Laine goal, it’s as perfect of a period as it could probably be, in terms of our
    structure, in terms of carrying the play and all those kind of thing but then you take that penalty at the end of the second. That’s the one there we can’t take, we’ve got to manage the game better in that situation and we didn’t so we opened the door for them to get a power play opportunity to start the third and I
    thought that was the difference. I thought our guys competed hard today. The play was structured and I thought we easily could have had two points here today and the fact that we got the game even and got out of here with a point but lose the extra in overtime – we don’t like that but there were a lot of positive
    things here today and that’s a good team over. They’re feeling it, that’s eight games in the last 11 for them, they played hard against us, so it wasn’t any easy night for us and I liked a lot of things about how we played.”
    JACK CAMPBELL
    On tonight’s game:
    “I thought the team played amazing and deserved two points.”
    On the goals that got past him tonight:
    “They just shot and beat me and it’s not acceptable on my part. We should have won 3-0 so just have to move on.”
    AUSTON MATTHEWS
    On tonight’s effort:

    “I think we can be a lot more proud of our effort tonight. We found our way back and got one point but obviously leaving the rink sour but thought we did a lot of good things tonight, better than our last two outings so definitely some positive stuff that we can take and move forward but we can be more proud of
    the effort tonight.”
    On Kämpf’s playmaking ability:
    “Just a really nice play by Bunts, to get the puck in and I was screaming for it and Kämpf made an unbelievable pass. I think his play making abilities are pretty underrated. He makes really good little plays
    even for the most part kind of in our d-zone. He makes really nice five-foot plays that go a long way to help us breakout but even in the o-zone he makes sneaky plays and that was really nice pass by him and I just had to bring it over and had an empty net to shoot at.”

BLUE JACKETS NOTES
BACK AT NATIONWIDE ARENA

Columbus concluded a season-long five-game road trip (Feb. 7-17) with a 7-4 victory on Thursday at Chicago. The club went 4-1-0 on the road trip that
also had stops at Washington (5-4; W), Buffalo (4-3; OTW), Montreal (2-1; W) and Calgary (6-2; L). The club has won seven of its last nine road outings
since Jan. 13 and five of the last six games overall. On Sunday, the Blue Jackets returned to Nationwide Arena with a 7-3 victory vs. Buffalo. It’s the first
time in club history that CBJ have scored seven goals in back-to-back games. Columbus plays one more game at home on Tuesday vs. Toronto before
playing back-to-back games on the road (FLA on Thu. and CAR on Fri.).
COMEBACK JACKETS
The Blue Jackets have earned their victories this season with the club coming back at some point in the game in 15 of their 25 wins, including five of
their last seven victories. The 15 comeback victories are tied for the third-most in the NHL. The club’s six wins when trailing heading into the second
period are tied for the NHL lead (FLA). Columbus also has five multi-goal comeback victories this season (Nov. 3 at COL, Nov. 15 vs. DET, Jan. 27 vs.
NYR, Feb. 8 at WSH and Feb. 10 at BUF).
PUTTING PUCKS IN THE NET
Columbus has been able to fill the back of the net this season, averaging 3.27 goals-per-game through 49 contests. The club ranks second in the NHL in
scoring since Jan. 27 (4.67 avg., 42 goals total) with the 42 goals the most in franchise history through any nine-game stretch (previously 40, Mar. 19-
Apr. 3, 2018). Columbus has scored three-plus goals in 29 of its contests (includes SO goals) and is 20-3-0 when scoring four goals or more in a contest
this season. CBJ, who averaged 2.39 goals-a-game in 2020-21, have twice finished a campaign averaging better than three goals a game (club record
3.12 avg. in 2018-19 and 3.01 avg. in 2016-17).
LAINE HOT STEAK
Laine collected multiple points for the third time in the last four games with two assists on Sunday. He has posted points in nine-straight games (10-8-
18), the second longest points streak of his career (15 games in 2017-18) and fifth-T longest in franchise history. He leads the NHL in goals and points
since the streak started on Jan. 27. The 23-year-old forward (166-138-304, 380 GP) recorded his ninth career hat trick in Thursday’s win at Chicago and
became the third player from the 2016 NHL Draft to reach 300 career points (Auston Matthews with 410 and Matthew Tkachuk with 332). It was his first
hat trick since Feb. 8, 2020 while with Winnipeg. Since he entered the League in 2016-17, only three players have notched more performances of threeplus goals: Alex Ovechkin (13), David Pastrnak (11) and Connor McDavid (10).
JENNERATING RESULTS
Boone Jenner recorded his ninth multi-point effort of the campaign vs. Buffalo (1-1-2). He has 3-6-9 in the last six games and has recorded 9-10-19 with
five multi-point efforts in the last 17 contests. The 28-year-old captain is the first CBJ player to reach 20 goals this season and leads the club in goals,
points and PPG with 21-18-39 and 7 PPG in 49 appearances. He is on pace to set single-season career highs in both goals and points (30-19-49 in 82
GP in 2015-16). His 142 career goals are tied with Nick Foligno for the third-most in club history.
ZACH ATTACK
Zach Werenski scored his eighth goal of the campaign on Sunday to extend his points streak to five consecutive games (2-4-6) and has 2-8-10 in his
last 11 games. He has been heavily counted on as the club’s top defenseman this season, ranking 5th in the NHL in TOI/GP with 26:04. The 24-year-old
skated in his 2nd All-Star Game on Feb. 5, helping the Metropolitan Division win the title. At 220 career points (73-147-220, 382 GP), he is three points
shy of tying Seth Jones (50-173-223, 381 GP) for the most career points by a blueliner in franchise history.

    POSTGAME QUOTES:
    HEAD COACH SHELDON KEEFE
    On Jake Muzzin’s status:
    “I don’t have much of an update other than that he’s going to stay here in Montreal overnight for
    observations, that’s really all I have.”
    On giving up too many chances off the rush:
    “We didn’t do a good enough job coming out of the zone. We lost races, we weren’t connected. When our
    defence were up and involved in tight our forwards let guys get loose so we just didn’t do a good enough
    job at that.”
    JOHN TAVARES
    On tonight’s game:
    “It wasn’t very good. Probably as disappointing of a game for us this year. We have to clean up what
    we’re giving up off the rush. It’s obviously something that is continuously giving the other team
    opportunities and life and certainly for them tonight they generated a lot off of that. I thought in-zone play
    we didn’t give up a whole lot but off the rush was just not very good and continues to be an area we have
    to find a way to get better in and get our game connected. Disappointing one tonight.”
    AUSTON MATTHEWS
    On tonight’s effort:
    “I think just all throughout our lineup just not good enough. Forwards, defence, goaltending, just not good
    enough from everybody.”
    On losing two games in a row:
    “I think you never want to drop two in a row. We believe in our group and we believe we’re a good team
    and we never want to drop two in a row so we’ve got to put the fire out now. Not a whole lot of good in
    this one tonight but you’ve got to take the good and take the bad and move on to the next game and
    we’re right back at it tomorrow.”
    MORGAN RIELLY
    On tonight’s loss:
    “They obviously came out strong. If you look at the way our team played, I think we gave up too many
    odd man rushes, too many chances against and they’ve got skilled people over there so when you give
    them chances they’re going to score.”
    On the team giving up too many chances off the rush:
    “I think as a group we’re going to have to look at it obviously more. It’s been a common theme if you look
    back the last couple weeks, in terms of the chances against off the rush and as d-men you’ve got to take
    some responsibility on trying to make good defensive plays in those instances but as a group we’ve got to
    do a better job of trying to limit those.”
    PETR MRÁZEK
    On tonight’s game:
    “Difficult game for us. Obviously we want to come out strong in the first period but we were down 0-2 so
    not the way you want to start the game on the road but I think we battled in the third period and the good
    thing is in this league we’ve got a chance to play tomorrow again and play better.

POSTGAME QUOTES

HEAD COACH GREG MOORE

On today’s game:

This is a team that’s played us hard this year. Wanting to do well against a top opponent, a rival opponent in our division, a game where we get our fans back and feel their support, that gave us a big lift of energy today, and then in a special building as well.

On special teams:

They did a really good job. Establishing the shot there, it’s hard to get pucks down inside and Joey Anderson did a great job, as he always does, in that area of the rink, and penalty kill did a great job, obviously that short-handed goal. Special teams made a difference today.

On Michael Hutchinson:

I thought he did a really good job, and exactly what you said calm, gave the team confidence in front of him. At times there were a little bit of stretches where there weren’t a lot of shots and that can be a tough time for goalies to stay in it and stay engaged and he was ready for every opportunity.

JOEY ANDERSON (2 GOALS, 1 ASSIST)

On today’s game:

We know that they’re a team that’s never going to go away and they came out in that third period really hot and made a push and I think we responded well for the most part, especially after that timeout we settled down and got back to the things that had been giving us success. It’s just about finding that for as much of a 60 as we can and tonight, we did a lot of good things for a long portion of that game.

On his line with Brett Seney and Antti Suomela:

You guys can see, we all think the game very similar. We enjoy playing with each other too. That’s the thing you can see it out there when one of us scores, we’re just genuinely excited for each other. It just makes coming to the rink that much better and like I said, the style of play is very similar, everyone works hard, we’re in the right spots. Reading off each other is really nice and easy and Antti has fit right in there really well with us.

JOSEPH BLANDISI (1 GOAL, 1 ASSIST)

On his line with Curtis Douglas and Jack Kopacka:

Our line was great all-night creating chances. The puck squirted out and it was a great net drive by Dougie. Jack threw it off the pads and it kicked out to me and I was able to pull it and find the corner which was good.

On Michael Hutchinson’s performance:
It’s every day with him. He comes in ready to work every day. He’s dialled in. His details are amazing and just having that calm presence back there, same with (Källgren), Woll. All the guys we have are calm back there and it gives the team an extra oomph when you need it. When they’re a rock, they can keep pucks out of the net and build momentum for the team.
