Don't look now, but the Columbus Blue Jackets are red-hot.

With Wednesday's 3-2 overtime win over the Anaheim Ducks, the Blue Jackets are 6-2-1 in their last nine games, and have earned at least a point in five straight.

Alexander Wennberg and Zach Werenski - two players quietly enjoying tremendous seasons - combined for the brilliant overtime winner, with Wennberg notching his 11th assist on the season.

Werenski, on the other hand, is putting together a possible Calder-worthy rookie season. The 19-year-old has 11 points in 11 games, and is proving his worth after being selected eighth overall by the club in 2015.
