COLUMBUS, Ohio -- Relentless is the word Columbus forward Brandon Dubinsky chose to describe the surging Blue Jackets style of play. Dubinsky and Matt Calvert each had a goal and assist to lead Columbus to a team-record eighth-straight win -- the longest active streak in the league -- with a 5-2 victory over the Philadelphia Flyers on Thursday night in the franchises 1,000th game. Jack Johnson, Derek MacKenzie and Nathan Horton also scored for Columbus. The Blue Jackets played their inaugural season in 2000 and has only made the playoffs once, but are finally showing real signs of promise. "Theres a confidence in the room now," coach Todd Richards said. "I think there is an understanding of how we need to play, what we need to do as a group to have success." The offence has come on of late, but the backbone has been Sergei Bobrovsky, last seasons winner of the Vezina Trophy, which goes to the leagues top goalie. Bobrovsky finished with 26 saves in his first game against his former club to earn his seventh win in a row since returning from a groin injury. "Its everybody from Bob all the way out that are contributing," Dubinsky said. The Blue Jackets closed out the Flyers with four straight goals to improve to a league-best 9-0-1 record in January. They are currently holding an Eastern Conference playoff spot. "If you look at the standings we are still right there," Dubinsky said. "By no means can we be satisfied. Obviously its a big accomplishment. We are happy, we are going to enjoy it tonight. We are going to come to work tomorrow and get ready for a tough game." Brayden Schenn and Vincent Lecavalier scored for the Flyers, playing the second of an unscheduled back-to-back set after a snowstorm in Philadelphia pushed their game, a 3-2 loss to Carolina, to Wednesday. Philadelphia is 2-4-2 since winning 10 of 13. Coach Craig Berube said the Flyers recent struggles are because of poor execution inside their blue line. "It starts in our own end breaking the puck out," he said. "We are not doing a very good job of it. We end up spending too much time in our own end." Backup Ray Emery got the nod in goal instead of Steve Mason and had 34 stops. Mason, acquired from the Blue Jackets in 2012, played against the Hurricanes and has yet to face his former team in two visits to Columbus. The home crowd chided the former rookie of the year with chants of "We want Mason!" during the second and third periods. The Flyers fell behind 1-0 at 8:20. Johnsons shot from the right boards bounced off the legs of Luke Schenn and eluded Emery for his third of the season. Brayden Schenn tied it 1:56 in on a nice individual effort. He stripped the puck from Ryan Murray at the Columbus blue line, then cut in on Bobrovsky, eventually scoring on his third rapid-fire shot for his 14th. Lecavalier made it 2-1 just under six minutes later with his 11th, blasting a shot from the slot on the power play after a nice passing combination. The Blue Jackets responded with goals 4:49 apart to regain the lead, then added two more in the third period. "Were slowly getting the feeling in the room that no matter what teams throw at us we seem to dig deep and come up with a win," MacKenzie said. Corey Tropps forecheck squirted the puck free to Artem Anisimov, who centred a short-range pass to MacKenzie that he chipped in for his third at 11:24. Calvert was credited with the go-ahead score, his sixth, on a quirky power-play sequence. Philadelphias attempted sure clear, hit a glass partition and stayed in their zone. James Wisniewski got the puck and sent a hard pass from the left circle that hit Calverts turning skate in the crease and deflected into the goal. The play went to review and was upheld. Dubinsky beat Emery with a wrist shot from the slot for his 11th at 3:29 of the third. Horton scored a highlight-reel goal three minutes later, stepping around Andrej Meszaros at the boards and powering a high shot past Emery for his fourth. "This is something weve talked about as a group ... really trying to create an identity for our team and I think weve done that." NOTES: The Blue Jackets look to continue their record run Saturday against visiting Buffalo. ... Philadelphia is 6-4-0 in the second of back-to-back games. ... Columbus is 12-7-1 in the Metropolitan Division, while Philadelphia is 9-8-3. ... Arguably the Flyers best player this season, Mason recently signed a three-year contract extension.

Fake Jerseys .ca. Hi Kerry, Love reading your column and loved watching your analysis on the TSN broadcasts!And were now in Round 2! Bruins! Canadiens! We know all about the great games of the past from the players, the broadcasters and the writers.Lewis Hamilton has sought to downplay the suggestion his 2016 season has turned a corner by winning in Monaco. After a series of setbacks at the start of his world title defence, Hamilton finally registered his first victory of the year at the sixth attempt by winning from third on the grid in the rain-affected Monaco GP two weeks ago.With Nico Rosberg only seventh, Hamiltons previously large title deficit to his Mercedes team-mate has been cut to a more manageable 24 points heading to a Canadian GP where he has won four times. But asked if he felt 2016 had turned a corner for him, Hamilton told Sky Sports F1: Not really, it was just another race.Obviously, it was a better race than all the others Ive had this year. Canadian GP talking points Can Red Bull keep the heat on Mercedes? And is it already now or never for Ferrari? For me, it doesnt really change a lot. It takes more races to make a big difference in the sense of knowing where were going to have problems still.So Im not coming here like its all over and done with, we still might have problems. There are still things we have to work on and still things we need to rectify. Mercedes are yet to suffer a race-ending mechanical retirement on either of their two cars this season - Hamilton and Rosbergs double DNF in Spain was caused by a collision - but have become increasingly concerned by glitches on their W07s at recent grands prix.WATCH: The F1 ReportFuel-pressure problems compromised Hamilton and Rosbergs attempts at pole position in Monaco and, amid a growing performance threat from Red Bull, team boss Toto Wolff has conceded there is clearly work to ddo.ddddddddddddAsked if victory at the last race could nonetheless prove the springboard to a winning run into the summer, Hamilton cautioned: Of course, Id love that. But [its] one race. A look at the weekend weather for the Canadian Grand Prix We didnt get pole in the last race, just having that one win doesnt mean everythings going to be better from now on.Hamiltons four wins and four poles from eight Canadian GPs means the triple world champion starts as favourite this weekend - but the 31-year-old insists it would be unwise to get ahead of himself despite his return to winning ways in Monaco.Im just being very realistic, he stressed. It has been a difficult season so far. As I said, one race does not change much. Thats all Im saying.
