The win ended Tampa Bay\u2019s 15-game point streak and showed how strong the Blue Jackets have been lately, winning six of their last seven games. Columbus used a mix of skill and determination to hold off the Lightning\u2019s comeback. Charlie Coyle contributed significantly, scoring his 200th NHL goal and adding two assists, while Adam Fantilli scored and set up two more goals. Goaltender Jet Greaves made 25 crucial saves as Columbus (24-20-7) controlled the pace and managed to contain Tampa Bay\u2019s high-powered attack for most of the contest.<\/p>\n<p>Blue Jackets\u2019 strong offensive display powers win against Tampa Bay Lightning<\/p>\n<p>Columbus jumped to an early 4-2 lead after the first period, only to see Tampa Bay tie the game 4-4 in the second. Marchment, however, kept the Blue Jackets ahead with two quick goals, frustrating the Lightning\u2019s comeback efforts. \u201cThe thing that sticks out for me is just the way that we bounced back after they kind of came back and pushed against us,\u201d Marchment said. \u201cFor us to keep our foot on the gas and keep frustrating them was huge.\u201d Despite Nikita Kucherov\u2019s goal and three assists and Jake Guentzel\u2019s two goals with an assist, the Lightning (32-14-4) could not maintain their momentum. Tampa Bay, playing the second night of a back-to-back after a shootout win against Chicago, also lost defenseman Erik Cernak to injury and Gage Goncalves to illness during the game. Coach Jon Cooper acknowledged Columbus\u2019 readiness, stating, \u201cThey\u2019ve got one of the best defensemen in the League (Zach Werenski), and they were ready for us.\u201d Columbus\u2019 early scoring came from Cole Sillinger\u2019s wrist shot and Marchment\u2019s slick move in the slot, followed by Fantilli breaking his 17-game goal drought. Coyle later extended the lead with a power-play goal, supported by Fantilli\u2019s precise setup. Marchment capped the game with an empty-net goal for his third career hat trick, marking eight goals in nine games since his acquisition from the Seattle Kraken on December 19. Blue Jackets coach Rick Bowness praised the team\u2019s determination: \u201cIt doesn\u2019t matter, find a way to win any way you can.\u201d The victory not only halts Tampa Bay\u2019s streak but reinforces Columbus\u2019 position as a formidable contender in the league. <\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"Mason Marchment\u2019s hat trick leads Blue Jackets past Lightning (Image via: Getty Images) Mason Marchment&#8217;s hat trick and&hellip;\n","protected":false},"author":2,"featured_media":427401,"comment_status":"","ping_status":"","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"footnotes":""},"categories":[5108],"tags":[1942,52987,3644,5180,52985,897,230,5179,5,47344,52986,52983,4,52984,92,2566],"class_list":{"0":"post-427400","1":"post","2":"type-post","3":"status-publish","4":"format-standard","5":"has-post-thumbnail","7":"category-columbus-blue-jackets","8":"tag-adam-fantilli","9":"tag-back-to-back-games-nhl","10":"tag-blue-jackets","11":"tag-bluejackets","12":"tag-charlie-coyle-200th-goal","13":"tag-columbus","14":"tag-columbus-blue-jackets","15":"tag-columbusbluejackets","16":"tag-hockey","17":"tag-hockey-game-recap","18":"tag-jet-greaves-saves","19":"tag-mason-marchment-hat-trick","20":"tag-nhl","21":"tag-nhl-victory","22":"tag-tampa-bay-lightning","23":"tag-zach-werenski"},"share_on_mastodon":{"url":"https:\/\/channels.im\/@nhl\/115956092160682168","error":""},"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.rawchili.com\/nhl\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/427400","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.rawchili.com\/nhl\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.rawchili.com\/nhl\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.rawchili.com\/nhl\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/2"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.rawchili.com\/nhl\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=427400"}],"version-history":[{"count":0,"href":"https:\/\/www.rawchili.com\/nhl\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/427400\/revisions"}],"wp:featuredmedia":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.rawchili.com\/nhl\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media\/427401"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.rawchili.com\/nhl\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=427400"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.rawchili.com\/nhl\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=427400"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.rawchili.com\/nhl\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=427400"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
