Alexander Nylander had a goal and an assist, and Cole Sillinger scored for the Blue Jackets (19-30-10), who lost 4-1 at the New York Rangers on Wednesday. Daniil Tarasov made 28 saves.
“They’re a hard team. They play fast, they play hard, a lot of rims, a lot of trip ups from them,” Sillinger said. “Kind of a boring style of play, right? But it works for them.
“We did a pretty good job of making our own kind of game out of it and not feeding into what they want to do.”
Teravainen made it 1-0 just 53 seconds into the second period when he picked up a loose puck in the slot, spun around and beat Tarasov five-hole with a wrist shot.
Martin Necas appeared to make it 2-0 at 1:59, but the goal was disallowed when video review determined that Michael Bunting was offsides.
Aho extended the lead to 2-0 at 8:19 with a wrist shot from the right circle that deflected in off defenseman Andrew Peeke’s skate.
“It was big,” Skjei said. “They had their push, especially on the road you’ve got to try and limit their chances, and I thought we did a good job with that.”
Sillinger cut it to 2-1 at 9:56 with a wrist shot from the left circle off a 3-on-1 rush.
