COLUMBUS, Ohio -- Its been so much fun winning their past seven games, the Columbus Blue Jackets dont want to quit now. Christian Vazquez Red Sox Jersey . R.J. Umberger scored twice to lead the Blue Jackets to a franchise-record for consecutive wins with a 5-3 victory Tuesday night over the Los Angeles Kings. "Its special," said Umberger, who has seen a lot of losses since coming to the Blue Jackets in a draft-day trade in 2008. "You dont want to get caught up in it, but it shows the direction the clubs going. There have been some bad moments here. But weve got a lot more in us. Were not satisfied." The win kept the Blue Jackets -- who have made the post-season just once in their 12 seasons -- in playoff contention. Nathan Horton scored in his 600th NHL game, Artem Anisimov had a goal and an assist and Ryan Johansen also scored for Columbus, with James Wisniewski picking up two assists. Sergei Bobrovsky moved to 8-0 in his past eight starts with 26 saves. Theyre 8-1-0 with Horton, a big free-agent signing last summer from Boston, in the lineup. "Were on a roll, but were not where we want to be," Horton said. "We want to get back in the playoffs and stay there. We needed a winning streak; now we need to keep the thing going." The Blue Jackets have been surging since getting Horton, who missed the first 40 games after shoulder surgery, and Bobrovsky, who sat out most of December with a strained groin, back on the ice. Columbus, thought to be hurting for offence heading into the season, has outscored its opponents 30-15 in the streak. "Theres something with our group," coach Todd Richards said. "Our young guys are a year older and feeling more comfortable. Our power play is better, so thatll help. But theres something different about our offensive output." Jeff Carter, Dwight King and Robyn Regehr had goals for the Kings, who have lost three in a row. Mike Richards had two assists. "Were clearly giving up too many goals," Kings coach Darryl Sutter said. Down 2-1 after the first, the Kings tied it before the Blue Jackets scored twice in 89 seconds late in the second to take command. Carter, a former Blue Jacket who was booed loudly every time he touched the puck, received a nice pass on a 3 on 1 break from Richards and recorded his 20th goal at 8:39. Umberger shadowed defenceman Drew Doughty and stole the puck from him along the short boards, then put up what appeared to be an innocent shot from a hard angle. But Martin Jones, making his first start since Jan. 2, struggled picking it up and the puck caromed off his glove and into the net with 1:45 left in the period. "We fought hard to get back in it and make it 2-2," Jones said. "A bad goal changed the momentum. And thats the difference in the game." Anisimov then won a puck battle in the neutral zone and carried the puck down the left wing. On a rush, he sent a tape-to-tape lead pass to Horton who lifted the puck high for his third of the season with just 15.6 seconds left for a 4-2 lead. The Blue Jackets had killed off three first-period penalties and escaped the first 20 minutes with a 2-1 lead after falling behind early. The Kings scored at the 2:42 mark when Trevor Lewis shot from the right dot went off Bobrovskys right leg pad to King, who was charging the net through the high slot. He had an almost empty net for his 11th of the season. Columbus pulled even on the power play, where it has been particularly effective of late -- scoring on 6 of its past 13 attempts with a man advantage. Wisniewskis hard slap shot from the top of the left circle was redirected in the crease by Umberger at 12:47. It was his 12th of the season and his 114th as a Blue Jacket, moving him past David Vyborny into sole possession of second place in franchise history behind Rick Nash (289). Then, in the final minute of the period, Johansen took a seeing-eye stretch pass from rookie Ryan Murray and glided past a defenceman to go high with a forehand. It was Johansens 19th goal of the season. "This says a lot," Umberger said. "The fans can enjoy it, they deserve it. But we keep talking about how we can be better every night."

Gustafsson controlled the first round after getting top position on a throw, and came out much more forcefully in the second, buckling Manuwa with a Muay Thai knee, and finishing him off with strikes on the ground.FLORHAM PARK, N.J. - Marty Mornhinwegs reputation in NFL circles is that of a guy who likes to throw the ball in an attack-style offence that piles up points.That air approach has been mostly grounded in his two seasons with the New York Jets.The offensive co-ordinator has had to stick to more of a run-first philosophy, relying more on the running game on a team that has struggled with consistency and production.Just the way were built, Mornhinweg said Thursday.Its clear the Jets are a stronger running team than passing, ranking second in the NFL in rushing offence behind Chris Ivory (739 yards) and Chris Johnson (613). The team averages 4.7 yards per carry and 147.1 yards rushing per game. On the flip side, however, New York is ranked 32nd — dead last — in the league in passing offence.Thats the result of Geno Smith so far not taking the next step in his progression as a passer in his second NFL season. He has just nine touchdown passes and 12 interceptions to go along with a 69.8 quarterback rating. Michael Vick briefly provided a spark in his three games as a starter when Smith was benched earlier in the season, but the Jets were hardly a threat in the air with him under centre.Well, certainly there is a developmental process with every young player at every position, Mornhinweg said. The quarterback is such an important position that you certainly have to do certain things there. And I know it sounds crazy, and Geno has been up and down just a little bit throughout this first year and a half going on two years, but hes a young, talented guy. Every quarterback develops at a little bit (of a) different rate.The problem for Mornhinweg and the Jets has been that theyve entered the last two seasons expecting to have more of an attacking offence.Well, earlier in both seasons we have, Mornhinweg said.The Jets appeared on their way this season, rolling for 402 yards in the opening win against Oakland. New York also led the Packers 21-3 early in Week 2 at Green Bay before falling 31-24.The Oakland game, we were running and gunning pretty well, Mornhinweg said. I remember Green Bay, we came out running and gunning pretty well, both running and passing. Then, consciously, we morphed into quite a little bit more running.That choice came because attacking through the air simply wasnt working.Coach Rex Ryan ggets labeled as a staunch proponent for a Ground-and-Pound offence, but thats mostly because it was so successful in the Jets runs to the AFC title game in his first two seasons with Mark Sanchez at quarterback. David Ortiz Red Sox Jersey. . That was based a lot on personnel, which allowed New York to run it down opponents throats and let his defence clean up.So, early in the season, the Jets turned back to what their strength was: running the ball.When were protecting the football, I think we do a pretty darn good job offensively, Ryan said. I think our Achilles heel has been two areas: protecting the football and then the red zone. But I think were getting better in both, though.There have been other factors that have shaped the offensive approach. The Jets, outscored 360-230, have dealt with inconsistent play on the offensive line. A hamstring injury hampered top receiver Eric Decker for several weeks early on. The trade for Percy Harvin has helped, but he was a midseason addition, when the Jets were already in a 1-6 hole.Mornhinweg sidestepped questions whether he has been frustrated that his offences with the Jets havent put up good numbers.Well, I believe we are second in rushing right now, he said.But overall, New York is 25th in offence, and that has a lot to do with the Jets 3-11 record.In this league, you need to pass the ball very efficiently to score points, typically, Mornhinweg said. Now, every game is just a little bit different, but certainly, the passing game, you have to get that going at some point to win on a consistent basis.Mornhinweg acknowledged he and Ryan talk about the offence every day. But a published report a few weeks ago said the two have had friction all season, and the Jets run-heavy approach — they rushed 49 times — in a 16-13 loss to Miami three weeks ago was Mornhinwegs way of sticking it to Ryan.Both denied the report, and Mornhinweg reiterated that running the football more often as the season progressed was a conscious choice.Well, the way were built, Mornhinweg said, thats a reasonable thing to do.That said, Mornhinweg was asked if he would prefer — all things considered — to have more of an attacking offence.Well, you need to score points to win pretty consistently, he said.
