Nash scores twice for Jackets

Rick Nash leads the league with 30 goals.
COLUMBUS (AP) -- Rick Nash scored his NHL-leading 29th and 30th goals to help the Columbus Blue Jackets beat Chicago 4-3 on Saturday night, extending the Blackhawks' road losing streak to a franchise-record 17 games.
The Blackhawks, who routed the Blue Jackets 7-0 just 48 hours earlier, have not won a road game since beating Nashville 2-1 on Nov. 7.
Selected this week to the Western Conference All-Star team, Nash is just four goals off the team record of 34 goals set last season by Geoff Sanderson in 82 games. Nash's 30 have come in 49 games.
Manny Malhotra and Tyler Wright added a goal and an assist as the Blue Jackets remained unbeaten at home (3-0-1-0) under interim coach Gerard Gallant.
Steve Sullivan had two goals, including a short-handed score, and Tuomo Ruutu scored on a power play for the Blackhawks. Sullivan also had an assist.
Columbus tied a team record with 13 power-play chances, scoring on two. Chicago coach Brian Sutter complained loudly to the officials throughout the third period.
First goal
The Blackhawks opened the scoring on a penalty kill. Brett McLean tossing a perfect pass to Sullivan, who split defensemen Jaroslav Spacek and Rostislav Klesla and then beat goalie Marc Denis.
Just over a minute later, Nash carried the puck over the blue line and fed Klesla in the left circle. Klesla wristed a shot with Nash clogging the slot to tap it in for the power-play goal at the 5:04 mark.
The Blackhawks were whistled for two more penalties and weathered 1:23 of a two-man disadvantage before Columbus scored on the second power-play chance. Spacek's hard shot from the point ricocheted off goaltender Craig Anderson and a jumble of other players. Wright got a stick on the puck before Malhotra jammed in the goal.
It was the eighth goal of the season for Malhotra, a waiver-wire pickup from Dallas in November, to tie his career high. He had two goals in the Blue Jackets' last home game, a 3-1 win over St. Louis on Wednesday night.
Nash then notched his 30th when defensemen Nathan Dempsey and Burke Henry both went for Columbus rookie Nikolai Zherdev behind the goal cage and he slipped a centering pass to Nash, who was all alone in the slot for an easy score.
After Wright tapped in a loose puck for his fourth early in the third period, Ruutu followed Bryan Berard's one-timer with a rebound goal for his sixth.
Sullivan added his 10th in the final minute with Chicago's goalie off the ice for a man advantage.
