Senators stretch point streak to five games by beating Jackets

Tim Stutzle scored the go-ahead goal midway into the first period to fuel the visiting Ottawa Senators to a 4-1 victory over the Columbus Blue Jackets on Tuesday.

Stutzle joined Ridly Greig with a goal and an assist and captain Brady Tkachuk and defenseman Tyler Kleven also tallied for the Senators, who improved to 3-0-2 in their last five games.

Ottawa defenseman Thomas Chabot notched two assists and James Reimer made 21 saves in his second start since being signed as an unrestricted free agent last week.
