SCOTTAWA - Damon Severson had a goal and an assist for the Columbus Blue Jackets in a 4-1 win over the host Ottawa Senators on Monday.

Jake Sanderson scored for Ottawa (18-15-5) in the second period to halve a two-goal deficit, but third-period goals by Mateychuk and Marcheko sealed a third straight victory for Columbus.
Leevi Merilainen stopped 18 shots in Ottawa's net in front of an announced 17,902 at the 好色tv Tire Centre.
Jenner opened the scoring at 15:58 of the first period when he redirected a Sillinger shot inside the blue paint past Merilainen.

Sanderson scored for the Senators to cut the lead to 2-1 at 8:16 of the second period with a quick wrister for the faceoff dot that beat Greaves, also to the far post.
