Remember that 16-game Blue Jackets winning streak? It's very much over.

Columbus dropped its third in four games Tuesday, a 5-3 decision to the Carolina Hurricanes, as Anton Forsberg struggled after being called up to replace the waived - and claimed by Toronto - Curtis McElhinney.

The Blue Jackets have been one of the league's better teams in the third period this season, but allowed two in the final frame in what was a 3-3 game.
