Columbus captain Boone Jenner had a power-play goal and an assist in the first period, and the Blue Jackets beat Dallas 5-1 on Tuesday night to hand the slumping Stars their third straight defeat.

The Blue Jackets went up 2-0 when Jenner scored from his left knee in the crease to the left of goalie Jake Oettinger after Charlie Coyle knocked the puck through the legs of defenseman Lian Bichsel and across the ice in front of the net.
