Blue Jackets 5, Rangers 2: Cam Atkinson scored twice, Nick Foligno recorded a goal and an assist and Sergei Bobrovsky made 24 saves as host Columbus toppled New York.

Artem Anisimov burned his former team by netting his second goal in as many contests and rookie Marko Dano recorded his first career tally and assist. Ryan Johansen, who joined Scott Hartnell by notching two assists, has three in two games after ending his training-camp holdout by signing a three-year contract extension.

Rick Nash scored in the third period but was booed every time he touched the puck as the top-line forward was playing in his second game at Nationwide Arena after spending his first nine seasons in Columbus. Lee Stempniak also tallied and rookie Anthony Duclair added two assists for his first career points for the Rangers, who will play their home opener versus Toronto on Sunday.

After scoring on his lone shot in Columbus' 3-1 season-opening victory over Buffalo on Thursday, Anisimov drew first blood as his one-timer from above the left faceoff circle beat Cam Talbot (19 saves) at 6:24 of the first period. Foligno doubled the advantage with 2 1/2 minutes remaining in the session by cleaning up his own rebound while falling to the ice.

Stempniak accepted a nifty give-and-go feed from Duclair before beating Bobrovsky from the right circle to trim the deficit at 5:43 of the second period. Atkinson backhanded a loose puck into the net to regain Columbus' two-goal lead four minutes later and Bobrovsky denied Martin St. Louis from in close late in the session to draw a standing ovation from the crowd.
