Blue Jackets meet Hurricanes eyeing fourth straight win

Feb 14, 2009 - 11:34 AM Columbus (27-23-5) at Carolina (27-23-5), 7:00 pm EST

RALEIGH, North Carolina (Ticker) -- After rookie Steve Mason's successful return from mononucleosis, the Columbus Blue Jackets are rolling again.

The Blue Jackets will seek their fourth consecutive victory Saturday, when they visit the Carolina Hurricanes in a battle between teams with identical records.

Mason made 32 saves in his return from injured reserve and Jason Williams snapped a tie with 6:55 remaining in the third period as the Blue Jackets skated past the Detroit Red Wings, 3-2, on Friday.

Jason Chimera and Raffi Torres also scored and Jakub Voracek recorded a pair of assists for Columbus, which is seeking its longest winning streak of the season.

"Other people are stepping up. That's really important for us," Blue Jackets coach Ken Hitchcock said. "We're having other people contribute for us to win hockey games. The nice part is, we can win hockey games without scoring from (captain Rick) Nash and (Kristian) Huselius."

The Hurricanes are coming of a 5-0 loss to the Florida Panthers on Thursday, failing to score despite unleashing 42 shots.

Carolina has still won six of its last nine contests.
