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

a loss against Ottawa on the 11th of December. He lasted just under 15 minutes in a game in which he gave up three goals. So, both goalenders looking crazy for a little redemption. The Jackets were offside as Marenko winds it around. Hopped 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 Doall. Zelwiger drawing back into the Anaheim lineup tonight after being a healthy scratch last night. 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 Makkins has to play him straight. He had a couple of options to pass that puck. He gave it to Granlin 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 backand blocker away by Mersleakans. 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. Khorn. Johnston 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 Color. Fans want a call that they don’t get, but it’s Paling that gets the puck back. The bench Trouba and he scores. Just 3 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 Korn 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 and don’t 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 gets away to center. Speed for Winsky. Turns the corner on Lome. He’s in. That went off the goal post by Winsky. Coyle holds on to it, plays catch with Winsky 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 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 Prober. Quick puck movement to Boon Jenner and his shot off of Doall. This is the first of a twoame Western or West Coast trip I should say as Merikens fights that one off from Mcavish. 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 Mleakkins. 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 Dost Stall. 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. Worinsky gives it back to him right through the logo. Vantilli through the middle of the ice, dishes on the wing coming in late. Winsky 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 him. >> These two teams rank first and third respectively in the NHL in goals from defenseman. The Jackets coming in with 27. The Ducks now have 25 as Trouba adds to their collection. But Toronto has an assist in this game. Dishes and Brandon tried to go against the grain. Kicked out for last year’s leading scoring defenseman. Lewis jacket. Marchment plays it back to the line. Severson opens up and scores. Ticked 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. No. >> Goce finds a man on right wing. Hanging on to it. McTavish gives it up. Heads back to the front of the net. Great save Makans. >> Yeah, nice little pass from Becca Senica. Well, Senica 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 MS LINCOLN. HE PUT THIS pass in a perfect spot for Jackson Lome. And Lome opens up and boy Elvis Mlekins 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. >> Boss 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 in the slot and Tavis scores. Second assist of the game for Ross and the Ducks have the lead back. A perseverance pays off on the forche. Both colet was tired. Remember we talked about making them work down low in their own zone. They cough it up. Ross Johnson. It’s Dante Favro with a blind reverse that Johnston intercepts. And that’s Mason McCavish as he kind of just cradles that puck. 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. Leakens moving to his left. Well 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. The Ducks in third periods are even in Kent Johnson for Columbus. Peels off to the left boards. Sneaks to Pantelli 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. It’s knocked out of midair by Warensky who moves to the corner for Kent Johnson trying to get away from Granland. Johnson will feed the line. Mate Chuck over. Winsky dust it off and scores short side on Dole. What a shot. I mean there there’s nothing there. I I think Lucas Dolst was actually screened by his own player. Judging by the reaction of Do Stal and he never saw that release. We’ll see it right here. and waved at it at the very last second. >> Fifth goal for Winsky in his last three games. >> 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 Granlin. Goes right through the legs of Zack Borinsky. And Pavl Mitikov got it away in a hurry. With 329 to go, the Ducks have got a one-goal lead. Mcome rims it hard around. It’ll come out of the zone and go the length of the ice. And that’s going to do it. The hockey game is over as Terry gets to it. And the Ducks win for the 11th time this season in a game that was tied with five minutes remaining.

Mikael Granlund tallied two points while Pavel Mintyukov scored the game-winner in the final minutes of the third as the Anaheim Ducks secured a 4-3 win over the Columbus Blue Jackets. Zach Werenski posted a goal and an assist in the loss.
