Blue Jackets vs. Ducks | NHL Highlights | December 20, 2025

The Jackets were offside as Marenko winds it 
around. Popped into the middle of the ice by Senica. Coyle gets it back and a point blank 
save for the first of the game from Lucas Do. Zellwiger drawing back into the Anaheim 
lineup tonight after being a healthy scratch last night. And here he comes. Ducks threeon 
one. Zeliger makes the pass and they score. Nice setup and Granland has goals in three 
straight games in the neutral zone and creates an outnumbered attack. Goender Mur Leakens has 
to play him straight. He had a couple of options to pass that puck. He gave it to Granland and he 
goes five hole. Anytime you can get the goalender to move laterally, those legs are going to open 
up. This is their 36th game of the year. They’re 11 and2 when they do. Ross Johnston pouncing on a 
loose puck. Goes to the back hand. Blockered away by Mers Leakens. Ross circles the zone now. Keeps 
it at the point and throws it across to the right corner. Off the boards, knocked loose. And again, 
it’s Johnston who swats it along behind the net. Kne had an assist in the loss against Dallas 
last night as points in two of his last three games. Long shot from Ian Moore. Whistles wide. 
Dumped in the corner with Colourne. Fans want a call that they don’t get, but it’s pain and he 
gets the puck back against Trouba and he scores. Just three minutes in, two nothing Anaheim. 
Trouba comes off of the bench. That was Ian Moore whose shot goes wide, but Paling does a 
good job of keeping it alive. He buys some time, gets away from Barensky, spots Trouba, and with 
Alice Kurin getting to the front of the net. And a lot of the fans haven’t even settled in their 
seats yet. It’s two nothing Ducks. Johnson across the line for Columbus. Gives it to Severson. 
One more pass across and moving to his left. Room through the middle of the ice for Boone 
Jenner. He’s converged upon it. They’ll stall. Sauces it ahead. Here’s McTavish. Stays on 
side. Ducks with numbers. He’s got Gochce with him. And he got his own rebound and tried 
to get it over to him, but it was behind Cutter. Senica keeps it alive. And now Gochce below the 
goal line. Broken stick out there as the Ducks get it to Moore. His shot tipped on the way by, of 
all people, Zelwiger. And now the Jack hits away to center. Speed for Winsky. Turns the corner on 
Lome. He’s in and out. That one off the goal post by Warinski. Coyle holds on to it, plays catch 
with Rinsky and now takes a look at the net on the edge of the left circle. He’ll shoot it and he 
scores. A redirect at the far post and the Jackets get one on the power play. Dmitri Veronov makes it 
two to one because watch where he goes. He’s going to go actually skates below the goal line here 
and Mikov got to got to find a way to cut this pass off. See him lift the stick. Veronov. Smart 
play by him. Only one hand on the stick at the for a moment for Powell Mchikov. Veronov lifted 
his stick. Right hand shot. Swings it around the boards and waiting for it is Ivan Proof. Quick 
puck movement to Boon Jenner and his shot off of Dost. Seven wins in 18 road games coming into 
tonight. This is the first of a twoame western or west coast trip I should say as Melicans fights 
that one off from Tavish the initial shot from Senica. It’s a long way to go for just two games. 
Jackets will be at Los Angeles on Monday. Good read by Ian Moore as he picks one off and gets 
it into the zone. Busting in. Another chance for Granland and he’s turned away this time. 12 
points in his last 13 games. Here come the Ducks on the rush. Goce save made by Mleakens and the 
rebound tapped out of harm’s way by Winsky. Shots unofficially 85 in favor of the Ducks who lead 
2-1. Carlson is dumped in the neutral zone. Puck comes right to the glove of Doal. He will hold on 
and we and Senica into the Columbus zone. Trailing the play Zelwiger trying to go behind his back 
for McTavish, but it’s Monahan who brings it back into the center lane. Brendan Smith and that’s 
absorbed. But Winsky gives it back to him right through the logo. Van Tilly through the middle 
of the ice. Dishes on the wing coming in late. Worinski. One more pass across and lunging to his 
left. Period is in the books. Well, remember this stop from Bill Style. Johnson gives it up and 
gets it back down in the corner and boy, he hammered the one-time. Great pass from Morinsky. 
Here’s the shot by Johnson. That’s going in. Lucas manages to get since signing in the off 
season with the Jackets after seven years here with the Ducks. Lundestrom cycles out high as 
he rotates. Gives it to Proverb and his shots but Toronto has an assist in this game. Dishes 
and Brandon tried to go against the grain. Kicked out by Merleakens. Yeah, he pulled the string on 
that and Mleakens makes pretty good stop with that right leg. fifthear man on a regal latapia. Ms. 
Leakens credited with nine saves in the opening period. Mcome who played eight and a half minutes 
in the opening frame swings it around and Ryan Stro gives it back to him. Jackson brings it in. 
Edge of the left circle now tries to feed it back in front. Broken up as Ross Johnson got a stick 
on it for last year’s leading scoring defenseman. Lewis jacket Marchman plays it back to the 
line. Severson opens up and scores. Tipped in by Marchman. Welcome to the Blue Jackets. And 
that’s a typical Mason Marchman type of goal. He has a knack of getting touches 
on pups around the front of the net. This is what he did right there. 
Just kind of patted that one down. Good touch on it and no chance for 
the goender early in the second. Boon Jenner rolls off Gudis comes in off left 
wing and Goce finds a man on right wing hanging onto it. McTavish gives it up heads back to 
the front of the net. Great save Makkins. Yeah, nice little pass from Becket Senica. Numbers 
for the Jackets. Marenko gets it over. Well, Senakica for the second time tonight has taken 
a seat. Great stop moments ago on McTavish. What a nice passing and Korn with a nice steal. 
He’ll go rink wide. Palin will get to it first. He’s got Lome with him over to Lome. Oh, what a 
save by Murik. He put this pass in a perfect spot for Jackson Lome. And Lome opens up and boy 
Elvis Merikens gets across with the catching glove. He elevated that over the pad, but great 
technique by the goalender. stacks the glove on top of the pad. His outlet pass deflected 
and Veronov as Mikov fell down. Busts in, fires high off the shoulder of Dost Stall and 
coughs it up. Ian Moore with a direct pass up the right side. The Ducks are out rink wide. This 
is Vrono. He’ll wire one blocker save Msleekens. That’s good stop by Ms. Leakens and good play 
by Trouba to get to it and move it ahead. Senica with a little drop pass and McTavish followed up 
by Lome. Jackson into the Columbus zone over to McTavish off his skate to his stick just wide. 
This is Luca Delbell Baloo just recalled from Cleveland the American League on Friday. He keeps 
the puck alive to the line and Londrom serves it over. Ross Johnston digs it off the wall and again 
it’s pailing through center. Gets it deep. Ducks will change. Second period the long change. 
Here’s a turnover. Johnston into the slot and Thomas scores. Second assist of the game for Ross 
and the Ducks have the lead back. A perseverance pays off on the for check. Both col the defense 
of the Blue Jacket was tired. Remember we talked about making them work down low in their own zone. 
They cough it up. Ross Johnson and Sante Favro with a blind reverse that Johnston intercepts and 
that’s Mason McAvish as he kind of just cradles that through center can’t work his pass through 
Severson. Marenko crisscrossing inside the line and got a lot on that. He sure did as Dost Stall 
I think took that one off the headgear. Cylinger gets it back from Veronov can’t return the favor. 
Bill Stall knocks it away right to Cylinger and a couple of point blank saves there as leaning into 
that one was Brendan Smith. They’ll trade places and Granland’s shot is blocked and chipped off the 
glass. Lookout cookout. Here comes a short-handed rush for Columbus. Boon Jenner takes the shot and 
sliding to get a piece of it. Stay on your feet. That’s exactly what Lucas did. Here’s Carlson 
motoring through the middle of the ice. Takes a shot and it’s held by Ms. Leakans Cylinger had 
a chop at it. So Stall kept it out. Cutter Goce turns on the Jets through center. Three on two. 
Dishes it. Gets it back from Carlson. Mrs. Leakens moving to his left. This one. Cutter Goce. Pretty 
severe angle when he gets his puck back. See him kind of spin. Skate backwards. Open up. Make that 
stick available. Got it away in a hurry tonight. Kent Johnson for Columbus. Peels off to the left 
boards. sneaks to Fanty into the slot and Marchman turned away by Dol back to the line. Fabro shot 
in a Blue Jacket uniform and again he just readies that stick. Jackets get across ice. Knocked out 
of midair by Winsky who moves to the corner for Kent Johnson trying to get away from Granland. 
Johnson will feed the line. Mate Chuck over. Winsky dusted off and scores short side on stall. 
What a shot. I mean there there’s nothing there. I think Lucas Dost Stal was actually screened by his 
own player. Judging by the reaction of Dol Style, he never saw that release. We’ll see it right 
here. Kind of waved at it at the very last second. Fifth goal for Winsky in his last three 
games. Good ways. Got a tip and that goes wide off the stick of a Toronto. Oh, good chip. Good 
pressure from Anaheim. And again, it’s Mikov that keeps that puck alive. Stro out of the corner and 
a point blank chance for Vrono. Gudas pinches. Now it’s Granland out of the corner. Has a man coming 
off the point and scores. Advent with 329 to play. What a pass from Brandon. A great shift for the Ducks. I mean the 
puck recoveries here did a really nice job. Gudas on a couple of occasions 
fed pucks through to the front of the net. But look at that pass by Granland. Goes 
right through the legs of Zack Warinski. And Powell Mikov got it away in a hurry. With 
329 to go, the Ducks have got a one-goal
