<p>The <a href="https://www.jacketscannon.com/" class="sbn-auto-link">Columbus Blue Jackets</a> had a great time on Thursday against the <a href="https://www.jewelsfromthecrown.com/" class="sbn-auto-link">Los Angeles Kings</a>, extending their already season-high three-game winning streak to four, thanks to a game-winning goal by former King <span>Jack Johnson</span>.</p>
<p>The fans of Los Angeles still had a good time, though, particularly Hollywood actor Tom Hanks. Hanks, who laid a smooch on his wife when caught on the kiss cam earlier this week, was the center of attention on the dance cam on Thursday during the Blue Jackets-Kings game.</p>
<p>NHL.com has video of the 55-year-old actor doing some kind of "I can't hear you" dance, while his wife loses her mind beside him:</p>

<p>Hanks has been relatively quiet in the last couple years, seemingly focusing more of his time on producing than acting, although he has still been in a movie every year dating back to 1997 and is casted to appear in one this year, too, on top of his several production projects.</p>

<p>The NHL's worst team is beginning to slowly climb out of the basement, winning four in a row and nine out of their last 16 games. They are now just seven points away from the next worst team in the NHL, the <a class="sbn-auto-link" href="https://www.coppernblue.com/">Edmonton Oilers</a>. </p>
<p>They also played spoiler on Thursday to the <a class="sbn-auto-link" href="https://www.jewelsfromthecrown.com/">Los Angeles Kings</a>, who are still battling for the No. 8 seed in the Western Conference. The loss for the Kings snapped their own three-game winning streak and prevented them from taking over the <a class="sbn-auto-link" href="https://www.fearthefin.com/">San Jose Sharks</a> for that last spot in the playoffs. </p>
<p><span>Jack Johnson</span>, playing in his first game since being traded from the Kings, scored the game-winner in the first period and <span>Mark Letestu</span> had his first two-goal game since playing with the <a class="sbn-auto-link" href="https://www.pensburgh.com/">Penguins</a>. </p>
<p>The only downside to the game was the loss of goaltender <span>Steve Mason</span> when he was cut by a skate, but his injury is not believed to be serious.</p>
<p>The Blue Jackets next play a home-and-home back-to-back starting on Saturday with the <a class="sbn-auto-link" href="https://www.stlouisgametime.com/">St. Louis Blues</a>. </p>

<p>A pair of teams riding three-game winning streaks will meet when the Blue Jackets host the Los Angeles Kings on Thursday.</p> <p>Riding their first three-game winning streak of the season, the <a class="sbn-auto-link" href="https://www.jacketscannon.com/">Columbus Blue Jackets</a> will host the <a class="sbn-auto-link" href="https://www.jewelsfromthecrown.com/">Los Angeles Kings</a> on Thursday.</p>

<p>Columbus started the winning streak at Colorado before taking both games of a home-and-home with Phoenix. The Blue Jackets have scored 10 goals during the streak, and that after scoring just four total during the three-game losing streak that preceded.</p>
<p>The Kings are riding their own three-game winning streak, scoring 13 goals over that span. On the season L.A. is 29th in the league in scoring but has come alive of late.</p>
<p>L.A. is part of the Western Conference logjam trying to finagle its way into the playoffs. The No. 9 Kings have 74 points, tied with No. 8 San Jose (the <a class="sbn-auto-link" href="https://www.fearthefin.com/">Sharks</a> have played one fewer game, so they own the eight spot). No. 7 Phoenix has 75 points, while No. 10 Colorado has 74 and No. 11 Calgary has 72. All told, three points separate five teams - and L.A. is smack-dab in the middle.</p>
