Voronkov, Provorov, Chinakhov and Marchenko defeated Boston once each, ensuring the Blue Jackets’ victory.

The other day, the information space was abuzz with information that Dmitry Voronkov was unhappy in Columbus and was thinking about returning home. The general director of the Blue Jackets managed to confirm this, but noted that work is being done with the player: the club is doing everything possible to help the forward adapt to his new environment. Considering that the “uniforms” included a fairly large Russian landing party, the mastering process should be a little easier.

Voronkov feels bad in the NHL and wants to return home. But giving up on your dream now is really stupid.

Today Dmitry has taken a big step to alleviate his torment abroad. At the end of the first half of the home game against one of the leaders of the Eastern Conference and the entire NHL, Boston, it was he who opened the scoring, with his characteristic style, tearing the puck off the boards after a pass from Yegor Chinakhov and pushing it towards Jeremy Swayman’s goal.

At that time, almost no one could imagine that Russia’s day at the Nationwide Arena was just beginning. However, it was our boys who played the key role in this match, and all at once. Ivan Provorov spoke next: the defender continues his recovery in Ohio, and today he also scored an accurate shot at the beginning of the second twenty minutes. Voronkov helped him a lot in this: the forward blocked the view of the “bears’ goalkeeper”, and the puck shot by Provorov flew right between his legs, passing the visiting goalkeeper.

Soon, Jim Montgomery decided to replace Swayman with Linus Ullmark, but the current owner of Vezina could not find a weapon against the Russian Columbus quartet. At the end of the second half, Chinakhov, who had previously helped Voronkov, opened it: Egor noted the opponent’s mistake, dragged the puck out of his zone and, separating himself from his pursuers, confidently beat the Swedish goalkeeper, bringing the Blues . Jackets advantage to three goals.

“What about Columbus’ best Russian sniper, Kirill Marchenko?” – you ask. -“Did he really come off the ice without a goal?” Naturally not; On such a day, Kirill simply had no right to remain silent. The 23-year-old forward scored his seventh goal of the season at the beginning of the third period, recognizing the numerical advantage of the “uniforms” and making the score completely indecent: no team could afford to beat Boston with a score of 4:0 this season.

Such a big lead lasted only three and a half minutes: the Bruins gathered their remaining strength and came back a goal thanks to the efforts of 19-year-old newcomer to the club Mathieu Poitre. This goal gave the visitors some hope of a comeback, and Jim Montgomery decided to replace the goalkeeper with a sixth outfield player almost 10 minutes before the siren sounded. But this action did not bear fruit: former Vityaz striker Justin Danforth soon scored the fifth goal of the match for Columbus and removed all doubts about the winner.

The last word, however, remained in the hands of the guests: another newcomer to the Bears, John Beecher, once again reduced his team’s gap to three goals, but this did not save Boston from a third consecutive defeat. “Columbus” achieved its third victory in the last four games and moved slightly from the bottom of the East, where “Ottawa” now lives in splendid isolation.
