Nov 18 (The Sports Xchange) - Highlights of
National Hockey League games on Friday:
Blue Jackets 2, Rangers 0
Zach Werenski and Artemi Panarin each scored a goal, Sergei
Bobrovsky posted his second shutout of the season and the
Columbus Blue Jackets defeated the New York Rangers 2-0 at
Nationwide Arena.
The Blue Jackets (12-7-1) won their third straight game and
Bobrovsky has been in goal for all three, allowing a combined
two goals.
Bobrovsky finished with 36 saves against the Rangers for his
11th win of the season. Henrik Lundqvist made 40 stops for New
York.
Brandon Dubinsky, Boone Jenner and Oliver Bjorkstrand each had

Red Wings 3, Sabres 1
Tomas Tatar's fifth goal of the season, 8:36 into the third
period, snapped a 1-1 tie and propelled the Detroit Red Wings a
3-1 victory over the Buffalo Sabres.
With Wings forward Justin Abdelkader screening Sabres goalie
Robin Lehner, Tatar's long wrist shot from just inside the blue
line banked off the top of Lehner's pad and into the net.
Dylan Larkin added an insurance goal when he knocked the rebound
of a Xavier Ouellet shot past Lehner with 4:06 to play in the
third period.
Luke Glendening also scored for the Wings (10-8-2) while Ryan
O'Reilly replied for the Sabres (5-10-4).
The victory ended Detroit's four-game losing streak against
Buffalo. (Editing by John O'Brien)
