lead didn¡¯t last long. Vesey capped the scoring in the busy second period to
knot the game again at the second intermission.¡°You can¡¯t overstate how
important that (last) goal was,¡± New York coach David Quinn said. ¡°It really
reset the game for us and gave us a little bit of a good feeling going into the
locker room between the second and third.¡±The loss snapped a two-game winning
streak for the Blue Jackets, who are 2-0-2 in last four.¡°Certainly, the odd-man
rushes early on in the game hurt us, and the turnovers, but we played a good
game,¡± Columbus coach John Tortorella said. ¡°I don¡¯t think they were in our end
zone in the third period until the last shift.¡±Quinn agreed.¡°Give them credit,¡±
he said. ¡°They played real hard in the third and made a big push. They had some
great chances. (Georgiev) stood tall, and we got two valuable road
points.¡±NOTES: Columbus has four power-play goals in the last three games. ¡
