RALEIGH, N.C. -- The Carolina Hurricanes talked in the locker room before Monday nights game about how they felt they were due for a win against the Columbus Blue Jackets. Columbus had won seven straight in the series, including a dramatic comeback victory the last time the teams met in Raleigh at the end of December. "We knew we owed em one," Eric Staal said. "We wanted to pay them back for some of the good games they played against us." Staal and his brother, Jordan, helped Carolina make that pregame prediction a reality, combining to score three goals in a 2:47 span in the third period and lifting the Hurricanes to a 3-2 victory. Jordan Staal scored the tiebreaker with 5:55 remaining after Eric had scored twice to help the Hurricanes erase a two-goal deficit and earn their fourth consecutive victory. Anton Khudobin made 22 saves. Carolina moved one point ahead of Columbus in the congested Metropolitan Division with the win. "We knew it was a big game," Carolina coach Kirk Muller said. "You dont want to dwell a lot on it -- let the guys figure it out." R.J. Umberger and Derek MacKenzie scored for the Blue Jackets. Columbus lost its second straight after winning eight in a row. "I dont know if we were trying to hold on or if we were playing the game to win," Columbus coach Todd Richards said. "We gave up three goals in less than 3 minutes. For 57 minutes, I thought we managed it pretty well. Those three minutes, thats the game." After shutting out Carolina in the teams last meeting, reigning Vezina Trophy winner Sergei Bobrovsky made 32 saves for Columbus. On the game-winner, Jordan Staal rushed into the zone against defenceman Ryan Murray. After cutting to the middle of the ice, he nudged a backhander past Bobrovsky while fighting off Murray. "It was a fun comeback," Jordan Staal said. "I had some speed coming low, and just kind of went for it from there. I tried to get my reach out there." Trailing 2-0, Eric Staal got the Hurricanes comeback started when he beat Bobrovsky between the legs after a pass from Alexander Semin. Staal then tied the score with 7:42 remaining after Jiri Tlutsy fed him in the slot. Staals shot fluttered, but the puck sneaked inside the post. Columbus jumped on Carolina in the first period, scoring goals 17 seconds apart to take an early two-goal lead. MacKenzie got the Blue Jackets first goal. Fedor Tyutin took a wrist shot from the slot that hit the post. The rebounded bounced to MacKenzie, who put the puck in the goal before Khudobin could get back in position. After the ensuing faceoff at centre ice, the Blue Jackets forced a turnover along the boards in the Canes zone. The puck eventually made its way to Umberger, who was alone in front of the net, and he scored his third goal in four games. "We came out of the gate well; we were playing well and we went after them," Richards said. After scoring goals on two of their first three shots, the Blue Jackets continued to control much of the action, taking the games first seven shots before Carolina asserted itself. The Hurricanes tied a season high with 17 shots in the second period. NOTES: Columbus came into the game with the best winning percentage in Eastern Conference for the month of January (.818). ...

The Wild Get: LW Matt Moulson and LW Cody McCormick.Toronto, ON - With time ticking away in the 2014 regular season, the Edmonton Eskimos and Toronto Argonauts both find themselves in the hunt for postseason invitations as they get together this afternoon in Toronto. Catch all the action beginning at 3:30pm et/12:30pm pt on TSN1, TSN3, TSN4 and TSN5. Both teams are coming off victories in their most recent outings, Edmonton topping Saskatchewan last week by a score of 24-0 and the Argos crushing British Columbia on Sept. 19 on the road, 40-23. In the case of Toronto, the triumph served to snap a four-game slide and kept the club within striking distance of first place in the East Division where it has eight points and trails both Hamilton and Montreal by only two points. Against the Lions during Week 13 action, Chad Owens returned to action and proceeded to show why he is one of the most exciting players in the league. Owens caught eight passes for 117 yards and a score and added another 30 yards on punt returns. Toronto quarterback Ricky Ray converted 24-of-33 passes for 284 yards and two touchdowns, surviving three sacks for the visitors. Running backs Curtis Steele and Steve Slaton both found the end zone on the ground in the second half as well. Defensively, Toronto did surrender 415 yards to BC, but at the same time the Lions shot themselves in the foot by committing 13 penalties for a loss of 131 yards. While Toronto was enjoying last week off, Edmonton was thrashing the Roughriders at home, recording the first shutout of the campaign for the Esks. In picking up the second win in the last three outings, Edmonton forced the visitors to use a pair of quarterbacks, limiting the duo of Seth Doege and Tino Sunseri to a mere 114 yards through the air, while picking off each one time and producing six sacks overall. Mike Reilly headed the Edmonton offensive attack as he connected on 14-of-25 passes for 124 yards and a score, not to mention picking up another 106 yardds on 10 rushing attempts.dddddddddddd But as strong as Reilly was with his legs, he actually finished behind John White who tallied a career-high 192 yards rushing on 17 attempts. Thanks to the efforts of Reilly and White, the latter being named the CFL Offensive Player of the Week, the Eskimos survived 12 penalties that amounted to 105 yards. Despite missing more than a month due to injury, White has come back with a vengeance and is now sixth in the league in rushing with 526 yards on just 68 attempts. Averaging a hefty 7.7 yards per carry, you would think that White would also have more than just a couple of TDs on the ground, but thats not the case. Hopefully the return of White means Reilly will not have to put himself in harms way as often moving forward. Nevertheless, Reilly is still the leading ground gainer among quarterbacks and ranks eighth in the league overall with 488 yards on 59 attempts, an average of more than eight yards per carry. The signal caller is in the middle of the pack when it comes to passing yards at this stage of the season, throwing for 2,309 yards, as he completes 64.1 percent of his opportunities. Over on the other side Ray, who is facing off against his former team yet again, is second in the CFL with 3,206 yards with an amazing 68.2 percent level of accuracy., Just as important is Rays league-best 22 touchdowns, against 11 INTs, which has him showing a very successful 96.3 efficiency rating. Able to spread the wealth quite easily, Ray and the Argonauts dont have a single receiver in the top-five in terms of yardage. Instead, it is Owens who checks in with 548 yards on 43 receptions, his total ranking him eighth in the CFL heading into Week 15. Edmonton leads the all-time, regular-season series by a count of 46-40-1, thanks in part to a 41-27 victory in the most recent meeting in late August at home. The Esks have taken six of the last eight battles with the Argos. ' ' '
