Separating their shootout and OT winning streaks was a 1-0 shootout loss to the New York Rangers on Jan. 18 at Madison Square Garden – when it took Igor Shesterkin to top Blue Jackets goalie Daniil Tarasov in his first NHL shutout performance.

The loss ended a three-game winning streak for the Blue Jackets (26-20-7), who lost defenseman Dante Fabbro and top scorer Kirill Marchenko to upper-body injuries and had star defenseman Zach Werenski miss time in the second period for a medical assessment.

The NHL has named its three stars for the month of January, and Columbus Blue Jackets defenseman Zach Werenski has made the list. Congrats Z! 🎉 Zach Werenski has been named the @NHL 's Third Star of January! 📝 https://t.co/kwvpez7o8V pic.twitter.com/eMWIDuFGgB
