Rick Nash scored twice and assisted once to lead the Columbus Blue Jackets to a 5-2 victory over the Phoenix Coyotes on Saturday night.
The star winger has put his end-of-the-season status with the Jackets aside and produced at a very high level lately with seven goals over his last six games. Twenty-four goals and 47 points are certainly off the pace he's capable of producing at, but he still could be a difference maker down the stretch for fantasy leagues, despite the talent-stricken team he plays for. Columbus scored three times in the third period, with goals going to Nikita Nikitin (fourth), Derick Brassard (12th) and Colton Gillies (second). Brassard also had an assist.
