COLUMBUS, Ohio — Sometimes, you just have to take care of business and move on.
Goals by Jimmy Vesey and Chris Kreider in the first period, and the first of the season by defenseman Niko Mikkola in the third, provided more than enough offense for the Rangers to dispatch the lowly Blue Jackets and give goaltender Igor Shesterkin his third shutout of the season and his 99th career win, 4-0, Saturday in Nationwide Arena.
Shesterkin made 20 saves and picked up his 37th win, which ties former Ranger Alexandar Georgiev of Colorado for second place in the NHL.
