(SportsNetwork. Balenciaga Sock Shoes Sale .com) - The Columbus franchise saw Rick Nash score plenty of goals while he was with the Blue Jackets, but even he never went on the kind of streak that Ryan Johansen has been able to put together. Johansens club-record point streak, though, hasnt helped the Blue Jackets pick up any wins as of late and the team looks to rebound on Friday night in a visit from Nash and the New York Rangers. The 22-year-old Johansen leads the Blue Jackets with 24 assists this season while ranking second on the club with 16 goals and 40 points. He has given those totals a big boost over a current 11-game point streak in which he has posted seven goals and six assists. Johansen picked up a goal on Wednesday versus Montreal to help Columbus to an early lead, but the Canadiens took advantage of ample power-play time to score three times on the man advantage in the third period and hand the Blue Jackets a 3-2 loss. Kevin Connauton also scored and Sergei Bobrovsky allowed three goals on 31 shots in Columbus third loss in a row. Its penalties. You take three, two of them were in the offensive zone, Columbus head coach Todd Richards said. Its just really disappointing. Nick Foligno, who leads the Jackets with 18 goals and 41 points, had an assist to stretch his career-high point streak to eight games in a row (2 goals, 9 assists), but the Blue Jackets have slumped to their longest losing streak since dropping six straight from Nov. 18-29. Columbus won 12 of its next 15 after that slide. Now the Blue Jackets will have to deal with Nash, the former cornerstone of the franchise who is currently tied for the NHL lead with 26 goals. He also tops the Rangers with 41 points in 41 games. Nash has scored three goals in four previous encounters with the Blue Jackets, who traded the unhappy star to the Rangers on July 23, 2012 for Artem Anisimov, Brandon Dubinsky, Tim Erixon and a first-round draft pick. Friday will mark Nashs third game in Columbus since the trade. Nash and the rest of the Rangers offense have struggled in getting shut out over consecutive losses. New York had won five straight and 13 of 14 before 3-0 setbacks to New York Islanders and Boston Bruins on Tuesday and Thursday, respectively. Tuukka Rask made 30 saves for the Bruins last night, while Rangers backup goaltender Cam Talbot allowed three goals on 32 shots. We need better puck movement from our defense, Rangers head coach Alain Vigneault said. We havent scored a goal in two games. Its tough to win when you dont score. The Rangers have lost two in a row for the first time since Dec. 1 and the 6 and havent dropped three straight since an 0-1-2 skid from Nov. 13-17. New York also lost three consecutive games in regulation from Oct. 11-14. New York did not have center Derek Stepan last night due to an upper-body injury and he may sit out again tonight despite traveling with the team. Henrik Lundqvist, who was pulled early in the loss to the Islanders, figures to get the start for the Rangers and is 4-3-1 lifetime versus the Blue Jackets with a 2.77 goals against average and .902 save percentage. Bobrovsky is 3-5-1 versus the Rangers with a 2.70 GAA and a .913 save percentage. The Blue Jackets have won three of their last four versus the Rangers, including a 5-2 victory at home on Oct. 11 in the first of four meetings. Nash had a goal in that encounter.

Chase Utley hit a three-run homer, and Ben Revere had four hits, including a triple, to lead the Phillies to a 10-3 victory over the Houston Astros on Wednesday night. Ryan Howard had two hits and two RBIs with a double for Philadelphia, which had scored just two runs in 35 2-3 innings entering Wednesday. The Phillies topped the Astros 2-1 in 15 innings on Tuesday night. Utley, Howard and Marlon Byrd -- the Phillies Nos. 3-5 hitters -- had five hits and six RBIs. "It makes a big difference all the way around," Philadelphia manager Ryne Sandberg said. "That becomes contagious." David Buchanan (6-5) was called up again to replace Cliff Lee, who is on the disabled list for a second time because of a left elbow strain sustained last Thursday. Buchanan, whose strategy was to get ahead of hitters, gave up three runs and nine hits in 6 1-3 innings with five strikeouts and no walks. He filled in for Lee during the left-handers previous two-month stint on the DL, but made his last three starts in the minor leagues. "Steady, gave us a chance to win," Sandberg said. "He doesnt get rattled out there. He hangs in there." Brad Peacock (3-8) struggled in his first big-league start since being sent to the minors to work on his fastball command. He allowed eight runs and seven hits in five innings, and lost his third straight start. The right-hander had an 18.00 ERA in his previous two starts with the Astros, which landed him in Triple-A Oklahoma City. The Phillies jumped on Peacock in the first inning for five runs and four hits, highlighted by Howards two-run double. Buchanan drove in the final run of the frame with his first major-league hit in his 18th at-bat. "I couldnt get into a groove," Peacock said. "I was probably working a little too quick. I was a little amped up." Utleys homer in the fourth gave Philadelphia an 8-2 lead. "It was a bad pitch to Utley, but after that I felt great," Peacock said. "But the numbers are the numbers." Houston scored in the first inning on Jon Singletons RBI groundout, in the fourth on Jake Marisnicks sacrifice fly, and in the seventh on Jose Altuves groundout. Altuve had two hits with an RBI, giving him his major league-leading 48th multi-hit game. UP NEXT Astros right-hander Colin McHugh (4-9, 3.32) faces Phillies right-hander Roberto Hernandez (6-8, 3.87) as the teams wrap up their three-game set on Thursday night. Hernandez will be trying for his third straight win after allowing just two earned runs in 15 innings over his last two starts. Balenciaga Shoes Wholesale China. McHugh, who will be making his first career start against the Phillies, entered Wednesday ranked fifth in the AL in opponents batting average (.203) and second in strikeouts per nine innings (10.14). TRAINERS ROOM Phillies: Lees season appears to be over. Although no announcement on his status has been made, Lees locker in the clubhouse has been cleaned out. Lee was making his second start last Thursday after a two-month stint on the DL when he was hurt again. Astros: Rookie outfielder George Springer, on the DL since July 20 with a strained quad, played in his third rehab game with Quad Cities on Wednesday night. Springer doubled but was lifted after feeling a pull, Houston manager Bo Porter said. The AL Rookie of the Month in May is batting .231 with 20 homers and 51 RBIs in 78 games with Houston. Before Wednesdays game, Springer was on pace for a possible return on Thursday although Fridays home game against Texas is more likely. OUT FROM HIS KNEES Second-base umpire Jeff Nelson made an out call from his knees in the first inning after falling while trying to get in position when Buchanan slid into second. Sandberg challenged Nelsons decision but the call stood after a 3-minute, 12-second replay delay. Buchanan thought he was safe but said, "I think for now Im going to stay on first base." DANCING WITH THE PHANATIC Third-base umpire Laz Diaz showed off his dancing skills during a skit with the Phillie Phanatic following the fifth inning. Dressed in a red and black costume with Spanish music blaring, the Phanatic danced Salsa style in front of Diaz. Diaz at first made no expression and twice turned away from the Philadelphia mascot before getting in on the dance toward the end of what seemed to be an unscripted act. FOLTYNEWICZ WORKS OUT OF JAM Astros reliever Mike Foltynewicz worked out of a jam in the seventh inning in his second major league appearance. The right-hander allowed three straight hits to start the frame, capped by Byrds RBI single, before getting Grady Sizemore to ground into a double play and Wil Nieves to strike out swinging. It was the first career run allowed for Foltynewicz, who pitched 2-3 scoreless innings in his big-league debut on Saturday. Foltynewicz came back out for the eighth and gave up another run when Revere tripled and scored on a wild pitch. BULLPEN ON A ROLL Philadelphia relievers Jake Diekman, Justin De Fratus and Cesar Jimenez combined to allow one hit in 2 2-3 scoreless innings in a strong performance from the Phillies bullpen for the second straight night. In Tuesdays win, the Philadelphia relievers allowed one hit in eight scoreless innings and struck out 14. ' ' '
