NHL Tuesday: Blue Jackets beat Kings for 7th straight win

Another night, another win for the Columbus Blue Jackets. Yes, this is really happening.

The Blue Jackets aren’t the only team that’s stringing together wins right now.

As has been the case for most of his rookie season, just about every time the No. 1 overall pick in the draft had the puck on his stick he was making something happen and bringing fans to the edge of their seats.

During one shift late in the third period, after a series of slick moves to gain entry into the zone, he turned into a one-man offensive zone cycle.

It did not end well for Kuemper and the Wild.

For a guy that had scored just two goals in his NHL career prior to that penalty shot, that’s a pretty sweet move. Maybe Lindy Ruff should consider using him in his next shootout.

Either that or he’s just really, really angry about the way the season is going.
