Columbus Blue Jackets drop third straight in confounding loss to Vancouver Canucks
Lankinen improved to 8-3-0 in 12 career starts against the Blue Jackets (11-12-3), who dropped their third straight game during a road trip that began last Sunday with a 6-3 victory in Chicago. Since then, they were shutout Tuesday in Calgary, overwhelmed by the Edmonton Oilers on Thursday at Rogers Place and then caught from behind by the Canucks.
