Columbus, Ohio • Matt Calvert and Brandon Dubinsky each had a goal and assist to lead the Columbus Blue Jackets to a team-record eighth straight win — and the longest active streak in the league — with a 5-2 victory over the Philadelphia Flyers on Thursday night in the franchise's 1,000th game.
Jack Johnson, Derek MacKenzie and Nathan Horton also scored for Columbus. Sergei Bobrovsky, last season's Vezina Trophy winner as the league's top goalie, made 26 saves in his first game against his former club.
Brayden Schenn and Vincent Lecavalier scored for the Flyers, playing the second of an unscheduled back-to-back set after a snowstorm in Philadelphia.
