Sergei Fedorov had two goals and two assists to lead the Blue Jackets past the Minnesota Wild 5-3 Saturday night, ending an eight-game losing skid and handing Hitchcock his first win as coach. "I am pleasantly surprised how quickly the players bought it," said Hitchcock, 408-249-100 in stints with the Dallas Stars and Philadelphia Flyers. Hitchcock was hired Wednesday to replace the fired Gerard Gallant. The Blue Jackets lost 3-2 on Friday in Hitchcock's Columbus debut against the Flyers, the team that fired him after a 1-6-1-0 start this season. "You saw flashes of it yesterday. Today reaffirmed what I saw on the tape," Hitchcock said. "There are some good pieces here to create a good hockey club."
