OTTAWA, Ontario (AP) - Ryan Johansen, R.J. Umberger and Fedor Tyutin each had a power-play goal to lead the Columbus Blue Jackets to a 4-1 victory over the Ottawa Senators on Sunday.

Derek MacKenzie also scored for Columbus (7-10-3), and Sergei Bobrovsky stopped 30 shots.

Erik Karlsson scored the lone goal for the Senators (8-8-4) in the third period. Craig Anderson made 18 saves.

The ugly game got even uglier after Ottawa's Mark Borowiecki caught Jared Boll with his head down in the third. James Wisniewski quickly came to his teammate's defense and fought Borowiecki. The two were tossed from the game once the penalties were sorted out.

The small matinee crowd of 15,535 grew quiet after the Blue Jackets grabbed a 3-0 lead with two goals in the second period.

First, Umberger managed to get his stick on the rebound after Johansen took a shot from inside the blue line. Then the Blue Jackets made the most of a two-man advantage when Tyutin scored his second of the season at 12:07.

MacKenzie put the game away when he made it 4-0 with his second goal at the five-minute mark of the third.

The Senators finally solved Bobrovsky when Karlsson scored his seventh of the season with Ottawa enjoying a two-man advantage at 17:33 of the third.

NOTES: D Patrick Wiercioch, D Joe Corvo and LW Matt Kassian were healthy scratches for the Senators. ... RW Jack Skille and D Dalton Prout were healthy scratches for the Blue Jackets.
