The Ottawa Senators' offense erupted on Friday night.

The club hung on to top the Columbus Blue Jackets by a score of 5-4, snapping a four-game losing streak. In the process, the Senators scored more than four goals in a game for the first time since Dec. 1 - a stretch of 13 games - when they bested the New York Islanders 6-5.

The Senators have been among the league's worst clubs over the last two months, sitting with the second-worst record in the Eastern Conference, while averaging the sixth fewest goals per game.

The team will look to keep it going when it hosts the Boston Bruins on Saturday.
