WINNIPEG - Michael Hutchinson is planning to spend the NHL all-star break in New York City, but there could be a change in his plans. Terry Porter Blazers Jersey .The Winnipeg Jets rookie goalie made 29 saves on Wednesday as the Jets (26-14-8) stretched their winning streak to a season-high five games with a 4-0 victory over the Columbus Blue Jackets (20-22-3).Blue Jackets goalie Sergei Bobrovsky, whos slated to play in his first all-star game Sunday in Columbus, was helped off the ice in the second period after appearing to hurt himself stretching to stop a wide shot by Jets forward Michael Frolik.Bobrovsky didnt return to the game and general manager Jarmo Kekalainen told the Columbus Dispatch that Bobrovsky had a lower-body injury and will have an MRI on Thursday.It was Hutchinsons second shutout of the season and the teams third as Winnipeg outshot Columbus 30-29.The 24-year-old native of Barrie, Ont., whos 14-4-2, was asked what hed do if he happened to get a call to replace Bobrovsky.It would be awesome, Hutchinson said. You grow up watching the all-star game as a kid. To be able to participate, every single player in the league wants the chance to do that. Just to kind of be mentioned is an achievement in itself.But he wasnt about to look up a new flight when it was pointed out Columbus is sort of on the way to New York.I guess there was some talk, but theres so many good goalies in the league that, you know, Im not really holding my breath on anything.Hutchinson went into the game third among the leagues goalies with a 2.00 goals-against average and second in save percentage with his .932.Bobrovsky stopped nine of the 12 shots he faced and was replaced by Curtis McElhinney.Winnipeg scored on its first two shots of the game, with Blake Wheeler getting his 13th of the season at 1:08 and Evander Kane following up with his 10th on the second shot at 6:06 of the first period.Chris Thorburn and Jim Slater scored second-period goals for the Jets.Fans gave the players a loud, standing ovation as the seconds counted down. The last time Winnipeg had a shutout at home was Dec. 31, 2013, a 3-0 victory over Buffalo.The Blue Jackets have been shut out three times this season and had won their past two games during this three-game road trip.I dont really know the extent of his injury right now, but hes the backbone of this team and hopefully hell be back on the ice as soon as possible, Columbus centre Ryan Johansen said of Bobrovsky.It sinks all the energy out of the bench. Hes the most important player on our team and he goes down with an injury. You dont want to see that on any team.The Blue Jackets have three players selected to make their all-star debut — Bobrovsky, Johansen and Nick Foligno. Its the first time the franchise has had more than one player selected to play in the game.Defenceman Dustin Byfuglien is the only Jets player participating in the game.Jets head coach Paul Maurice said if Bobrovsky cant play and Hutchinson gets tapped on the shoulder, hed be happy for him — but a bit worried, too.We love Hutchie, Maurice said. Im not excited about goaltenders going to all-star games. Its the one lousy position in that game.How could you not be just enamoured by the way hes played? There are a lot of good goaltenders in this league, but he would certainly be a guy whos earned it.The Jets go into the break picking up points in seven straight games (6-0-1).Wheeler opened the scoring when he took a pass from Andrew Ladd and got a backhand shot off as he was spinning around and falling down in the slot.Just rest, Wheeler said of his upcoming plans during the break. I think thats the key. This is a good opportunity. Weve played a lot of hockey here, especially recently.Kane scored after taking a dropped pass by Mark Scheifele just outside the top of the right face-off circle and firing a low shot at Bobrovsky, who had to look back in the net after the puck went through his pads at 6:06 for the 2-0 lead.Some good saves by Hutchinson and blocked shots by the Jets kept Columbus off the scoreboard in the opening period in which the Blue Jackets outshot Winnipeg 14-6.Jay Harrisons point shot went through traffic and was tipped in by Slater at 4:45 of the second. Jacob Trouba, making his return after missing 16 games with an injury, assisted on the goal.Bobrovsky was helped off the ice with 12:16 left in the period. Forward Jeremy Morin had already left with an upper-body injury and didnt return.The Blue Jackets were then hit with an unusual bit of bad luck.The blade of Columbus defenceman Fedor Tyutins left skate fell off on the ice near his teams goal with 8:18 remaining in the period. Tyutin could barely balance and tried to position his body to block any shots. He was then supported by a teammate as he made his way to the dressing room, but returned to the game.Winnipeg soon made it 4-0 when Thorburn scored on a rebound with 5:50 remaining. The Jets flipped the table in the middle frame, outshooting the Blue Jackets 17-7 to go ahead 23-21.Hutchinson had fans chanting his name in the third period after he robbed a close shot by Columbus centre Brandon Dubinsky with about eight minutes left.

FLIP SAUNDERS (Timberwolves): Im not the least bit surprised that he appointed himself as head coach after his search concluded.SEATTLE - The priority for general manager Jack Zduriencik and manager Lloyd McClendon was to add a pair of right-handed hitters and a starting pitcher for the Seattle Mariners this off-season.Seattle gained the second right-handed bat it sought on Wednesday, acquiring Justin Ruggiano from the Chicago Cubs for minor league pitcher Matt Brazis.While the acquisition of Ruggiano is not close to the same scale of the signing of slugger Nelson Cruz this month, it fulfills Seattles the need to find a right fielder that has strong career numbers against left-handed pitching.This is an addition we had talked about for a while, Zduriencik said.Ruggiano appeared in 81 games last season for the Cubs, hitting .281 with six homers and 28 RBIs but was slowed by two stints on the disabled list, including season-ending ankle surgery to remove bone spurs. Ruggiano said he finished his rehabilitation on his ankle about three weeks ago.Hes shown glimpses of power and hitting for average during two seasons inn Miami. Clyde Drexler Blazers Jersey. In 2012, Ruggiano batted .313 with 13 homers, a year after hitting a career-best 18 home runs in 128 games.Ruggiano also provides flexibility in the outfield; hes played all three positions. He was a little surprised by the trade.I want to be a part of that lineup every day, Ruggiano said. But Im here to fill whatever role they want me to fill and help Seattle win some games.Ruggianos career splits make him almost a certainty to be in Seattles lineup whenever a lefty is on the mound. For his career, Ruggiano has a .266 batting average, .508 slugging percentage and .836 on-base plus slugging against left-handed pitching.We saw this as a guy who certainly could hit left-handed pitching, he has done that in his career, Zduriencik said.Seattle designated for assignment pitcher Logan Bawcom to clear a spot on the 40-man roster for Ruggiano.Brazis, 25, was 4-1 and a 2.36 ERA in 40 relief appearances last season with Single-A High Desert and Double-A Jackson.
