COLUMBUS, Ohio - The Columbus Blue Jackets had lost 13 consecutive times to the Chicago Blackhawks in a span of almost four years.Jack Johnson and Sergei Bobrovsky didnt let it happen a 14th time.Johnson scored the winner in the ninth round of a shootout and Bobrovsky stopped 39 shots in regulation and eight in the tiebreaker to give the Blue Jackets a 3-2 victory over the Blackhawks on Saturday night.Its big because it gets the monkey off of our backs, said Johnson, who faked a forehand and then jammed in a backhand before Bobrovsky clinched the win by blocking Bryan Bickells low attempt. I wasnt really aware of it until this morning. Coach (Todd Richards) told us we hadnt beaten these guys in a while. So that feels good.It was the sixth game in a row to go past regulation for the Blue Jackets — one shy of the NHL record. The suddenly hot Blue Jackets have a nine-game point streak (8-0-1).Bobrovsky gave all the credit to his teammates.The last nine games, they block shots, they sacrifice and they help out a lot, he said. It doesnt seem like it, that they had (41) shots on goal.Columbus had not beaten the Blackhawks since Feb. 18, 2011, going 0-11-2 during that span.Jack Skille and Kevin Connauton scored goals in regulation for injury-riddled Columbus, which bounced back from the announcement Saturday morning that it wouldnt have star centre Boone Jenner for one to two months due to a stress fracture in his back. The club continues to battle a mountain of injuries to several top players.Big picture, it was a huge two points for us, Richards said. Its been a good December. Well enjoy tonight, definitely because of all the adversity weve faced so far.Patrick Sharp and Ben Smith scored for the Blackhawks, and Corey Crawford made 17 saves in his first game back after missing the last eight with an ankle injury.I thought we did everything but win that game tonight, coach Joel Quenneville said. We played well in all areas of the game and did a lot of good things. Ill give their goalie credit. In the shootout, it just didnt happen.With the score tied at 1 heading into the third, the Blue Jackets scored on a holdover power play. Connautons hard, rising shot through traffic beat Crawford for a 2-1 lead.The Blackhawks pulled even after a long review in Toronto.Bobrovsky made the initial save before Chicagos Marcus Kruger — without a stick — dove skates first into the net and kicked the puck. But it went off Connautons stick briefly before Smith, almost behind the cage, reached around to tap it across the goal line at the 8:49 mark.Not initially ruled a goal, it was overturned and Smith had his fifth of the season.Columbus killed two penalties before regulation ended.There was an extra point there for us, Crawford said. That could be a big point at the end of the year. But we missed it tonight.Jeremy Morin, acquired in a trade with the Blackhawks on Sunday, scored the first goal of the shootout in the fifth round. But Andrew Shaw came right back to extend it until the ninth round when Johnson and Bobrovsky came up big.We had some opportunities on power plays late in the game and more chances in the shootout to put it away, Chicago captain Jonathan Toews said. We just couldnt quite find the back of the net.NOTES: Chicago returns home to host Toronto on Sunday and Winnipeg on Tuesday. ... Columbus was playing the second of a five-game homestand. ...

"I mean, it looks like it," he said after the Tigers completed a three-game series sweep over Boston with their 11th straight road win, 6-2 over the Red Sox on Sunday night. "Our coaches, our staff make sure we got out there ready to play," he said. "You always want to do that. Its the way to play. You feel more comfortable." Victor Martinez hit a two-run homer and Torii Hunter added a solo shot as the Tigers posted their sixth consecutive win and 15th in 18 games to raise their majors-best record to 27-12. Ian Kinsler had four hits, and Cabrera added three and two RBIs as Detroit dominated in the first meeting since losing last seasons AL championship series to the eventual World Series champion Red Sox in six games. "It really comes down to the starting pitching and the bullpen," Detroits first-year manager Brad Ausmus said. "The starters have set the tempo and got us deep into the game. Weve also got some big hits. Miggy and Victor have been hitting well all season long." Xander Bogaerts had two hits and an RBI for struggling Boston, which has lost a season-high four straight. It was the first time the Red Sox were swept at home in a multigame series by the Tigers since losing four in June of 1983. "With the top of their order, any mistake we made, we paid for it," Boston manager John Farrell said. "They came in swinging the bats well, and when Jake (Peavy) missed his location, that lineup made us pay for it." Bostons David Ortiz went 0 for 2 with two walks, ending his 10-game hitting streak. Anibal Sanchez (1-2), activated from the 15-day disabled list earlier in the day after being sidelined since April 27 with a blister on his right middle finger, worked five innings for the victory.

Fastball, changeup, slider all looked pretty good,&" Ausmus said.dddddddddddd. "Command around the zone was pretty good. We wanted to stop him around 85ish pitches. He got us through five. A pretty good first start back off the DL." Trailing 1-0 in the third, the Tigers scored three runs off Peavy (1-2). Cabreras RBI single tied it before Martinez followed with his homer into Bostons bullpen. They made it 4-1 on Cabreras sacrifice fly in the fifth. Peavy was tagged for five runs on 11 hits in six innings. He has given up at least one homer in each of his nine starts, the majors longest active streak. "We just caught a team when they were hot and they played better throughout the series than we did," Peavy said. Hunters homer, which cleared the Green Monster and left Fenway Park entirely, made it 6-2 in the seventh. Boston loaded the bases with one out in the fifth, but managed only one run to cut it to 4-2 when Dustin Pedroia scored after third baseman Don Kelly threw low to the plate on a slow grounder for an error. Grady Sizemore then lined to Sanchez, who fired to third and doubled off Shane Victorino. Mike Avilas RBI single increased Detroits lead to 5-2 in the sixth.
