The Columbus Blue Jackets defeated the Philadelphia Flyers 3-0 on Tuesday night, keeping their playoff hopes alive as the regular season nears its end. Goaltender Jet Greaves recorded his second shutout in three games, stopping all 29 shots he faced. Greaves has allowed just one goal over his last 11 periods, boasting a .976 save percentage since his recent call-up. Dante Fabbro opened the scoring early in the second period with his eighth goal of the season, setting a new career high with 25 points. Kent Johnson added a power-play goal later in the period, and Adam Fantilli sealed the victory with his 30th goal in the third period. Defenseman Zach Werenski and forward Sean Monahan each contributed two assists. The win marks the fifth consecutive victory for the Blue Jackets, who have successfully staved off elimination for the eighth straight day. To secure the final playoff spot in the Eastern Conference, the Blue Jackets need the Montreal Canadiens to lose in regulation against the Carolina Hurricanes on Wednesday. Columbus must then win its final game in regulation against the New York Islanders on Thursday.

Now five wins in a row for the Blue Jackets, and the #CBJ successfully staved off playoff elimination for an eighth straight day. Two more to go. Need a Carolina win in regulation tomorrow in Montreal and a home win in the season finale Thursday vs. the Islanders.
