COLUMBUS, Ohio - Ryan Johansen returned to the Columbus Blue Jackets just before the start of the season.Cam Atkinson and Nick Foligno couldnt be happier.Atkinson scored twice and Johansens other linemate, Foligno, added a goal and an assist to power the Columbus Blue Jackets to a 5-2 win over the New York Rangers on Saturday night.I think we complement each other really well, Atkinson said of the Johansen-centered line. Obviously, Joey in the middle with that big frame and those skills is a big part of it. Nick and I just try to find space out there.Marko Dano added his first NHL goal and also had an assist for the Blue Jackets, who are 2-0 for the first time in five years. The game was played before a loud, sellout crowd of 18,922.That was awesome, starting with the red-carpet entrance and (there being) so many people out there, said the 19-year-old Slovakian, the 27th overall pick in the 2013 draft. That was a special moment for me, my dad watching the game from the stands. Im really happy he could see the moment when I scored my first goal.Artem Anisimov, like Atkinson, scored for the second game in a row. Fedor Tyutin, a former Ranger, had a +5 plus/minus rating to set a franchise record.Johansen, who ended his lengthy contract holdout and didnt practice until the day before the season began on Thursday, had two assists to give him three total. Scott Hartnell also had two helpers.Former Columbus captain Rick Nash picked up his third goal and Lee Stempniak also scored for the Rangers, who opened the season by splitting two road games.Anthony Duclair had two assists, also his first career NHL points, for the Rangers.With Columbus up 3-1 through two periods, Dano jammed in a rebound of Dalton Prouts shot from the point with just over 6 minutes remaining.Almost immediately, Nash scored his third goal in two games while the crowd booed loudly.Atkinson then closed the scoring with an empty-netter.At the start of the game, the energy was great, Columbus coach Todd Richards said of the raucous turnout. We did things in the game that will allow us to have success.The capacity crowd had a lot to cheer. Anisimov arrived late to the play but stepped into a one-timer from just outside the left dot to beat backup goalie Cam Talbot 6:24 in. Hartnells blind pass from the left corner set up the shot and Dano collected his first NHL point. He pointed and smiled to his father during the goal celebration.Folignos second effort made it 2-0.He wheeled from the right circle into the slot and put a shot on goal that Talbot blocked. But the rebound bounced back to Foligno, who was on all fours as he shoved it into the net.There were a lot of 50-50 pucks that they got to, Rangers coach Alain Vigneault said. Was that because they were quicker than we were? Or that they wanted it more?Stempniak cut the lead in half at 5:43 of the second with a hard wrister from the right circle.But the Blue Jackets boosted the lead back to two goals through the second when Johansen, who signed a three-year, $12-million deal on Monday, whipped a shot on net off a loose puck. Foligno got a stick on it to send it to Atkinson at the doorstep, who tapped it in midway through the period.We were chasing, said New York defenceman Mark Staal. We couldnt get the puck back and when we did we just gave it back to them.Sergei Bobrovsky had 24 saves for the Blue Jackets while Talbot made 19 stops in relief of Henrik Lundqvist for the Rangers.Notes: Nash had tussled with fan favourite Bobrovsky and Matt Calvert in New Yorks 3-1 win the last time the teams met in Nationwide Arena last March. ... During the customary pregame introductions at a home opener, for an instant the Blue Jackets bench was almost as full as the ice with the injured (D Ryan Murray, C Boone Jenner, RW Nathan Horton, C Brian Gibbons and C Brandon Dubinsky) joined by healthy scratches (RW Corey Tropp, D Cody Goloubef and RW Adam Cracknell).___Follow Rusty Miller on Twitter: http://www.twitter.com/RustyMillerAP Adidas NMD Clearance .

"It feels a lot shorter than it was," said veteran defenceman Andrew Ference, who spent part of the break with his family in Canmore, Alta., visiting former Olympians Thomas Grandi and Sara Renner. "But its a really good chance to get rid of all the little aches and pains." Ference said it has to be remembered that with back-to-back condensed seasons - last year because of the lockout - players need the break both mentally and physically. "The last calendar year I think I played 110 or 120 games, so its a much welcomed break." It was a break that came with the Oilers suddenly having found their game in the midst of another disastrous, non-playoff season. They went into the Olympic break having won five of their previous seven games - one of the losses was in overtime - and outscoring their opponents 18-12. Their previous 10 games before the break - the statistic the NHL keeps - showed them at 5-3-2, a record that put them in the middle of the pack, unlike the 29th place they are in with their overall record of 20-33-7. "It is tough from that aspect," forward Jordan Eberle said of the untimely break. "Some of the GMs around the league have been complaining, some of the teams were going well and then you get this break. Its almost like a new season starting. "But, for me personally, I feel you get re-energized, with a little more jump and a little more excitement to play, like you didd in camp.dddddddddddd I feel really energized and ready to play." Like many of the players, Eberle took a vacation away from the game, away from Edmonton and away from winter. But not away from working out. "Yeah I went away but I definitely worked out," he added. "I knew today was going to be a tough day. It was just a bit of a skate but most of the stuff was in the gym and it was tough." Ference said the players were put through a tough physical that included a hard bike ride but said everybody looked fine. "Nobody was puking." Veteran Ryan Smyth said it would have been nice to be playing in the Olympics again, but he appreciated the great family time he had in Mexico. And as a player turning 38 on Friday, he said "any time you get some rest for the body to recuperate, it will really help." While players made sure they stayed physically active and in shape, they were able to mentally turn off the game and enjoy some rare family time. "Your mind is a little off on vacation so you give yourself a break there," said Eberle, second on the Oilers scoring with 45 points. "But as far as your body you have to make sure youre still able to come back and play 22 games. So everyone took their mind away from the game, which is a good thing. "I went on vacation somewhere hot and your mind is so out of it that you think, wow, I have to come back and play hockey? But as soon as you get to Edmonton, see the snow on the ground, it changes pretty quickly. I got on the ice, felt pretty excited to get back. Its almost like a new season here." The Oilers resume play Feb. 27 at home against the Minnesota Wild. 20:11ET 19-02-14 ' ' '
