So, that 9-18-77 line is kind of good, huh?
The trio combined for eight points tonight – Panarin and Anderson each lit the lamp – and all three players had two assists in tonight's win. The 19-year-old Pierre-Luc Dubois has come into his own centering this group, but tonight proved that it's been a bit more than just good luck.

Great timing, too, as this wasn't a game where Sergei Bobrovsky could drag the team to a win. Rather, it was Joonas Korpisalo in net for the second straight game. As was the case in the last one, the Jackets came away with a win.
Brandon Dubinsky also lit the lamp to start the game, and Nick Foligno punctuated it with an empty-netter, as the Jackets are now 8-1-0 in their last nine.
Injury Update
Matt Calvert is skating with the team again, and is presumably close to a return – given his appearance on FS-Ohio tonight – but no timetable is available just yet.
Next Up
The Jackets are back at it tomorrow, as they'll be in the nation's capital to face Alex Ovechkin and the Caps. Then, they'll have two days off before facing the New Jersey Devils at Nationwide Arena on Tuesday.
