The Columbus Blue Jackets shake the hands of the Pittsburgh Penguins after a series-clinching 5-2 loss in Game 5 on Thursday in Pittsburgh. William Karlsson and Boone Jenner scored for the Blue Jackets, but Sergei Bobrovsky stopped just 27 of 32 shots to finish a forgettable series. Crosby’s one-timer on the power play restored a two-goal lead and Wilson’s backhand less than a minute later finished off the Blue Jackets. The Blue Jackets, trying to extend a breakthrough season that included a franchise-record 108 points and the sixth-best record in the league, showed one last flash. Columbus coach John Tortorella and the rest of the Blue Jackets bench erupted in anger.
