Charlie Coyle continued his dominant run since Rick Bowness joined the Blue Jackets, scoring a goal and three assists, with two of those points on the power play.

The Colorado Avalanche had extended winger Martin Necas for eight years with an average annual value of $11.5-million, according to Elliotte Friedman.
