It is the second-longest winning streak in Blue Jackets history, after the team won 16 straight last season.
The Blue Jackets now sit tied with the Pittsburgh Penguins with 89 points - but sit third in the Metropolitan Division due to games played - and have an eight-point cushion on a playoff spot.
