BLUE JACKETS NOTE OF THE GAME

«  C Jack Roslovic notched his third career four-point game with 2-2-4 to extend his points/assists streak to three consecutive contests (2-4-6) and give him 2-6-8 in his last six outings (overall 3-11-14 in 24 appearances).  He tallied 2-1-3 in the second period, matching the franchise record for most points in a period (47^th time; MR: Kuraly with 2-1-3 on 11/17/22 vs. MTL).  The forward also recorded both a power play goal and shorthanded goal in the second frame, which is the ninth time in franchise history a player has scored a PPG/SHG in the same game (MR: Huselius, 11/19/09 at DAL) and fourth time it has been accomplished in a single period (MR: Nash: second period on 1/27/09 vs. DET).
