    Last night, against the Dallas Stars, defenseman Zach Werenski entered with a 22-game home points streak, the third-longest in NHL history. If we're being honest, this is no easy feat. 

    The Jackets would beat the Stars 6-4, but Werenski would lose his streak after not registering a single point. 

    Today, he appeared on 97.1 The Fan's Rothman & Ice for his "Hockey & Hounds" segment and was asked about the streak and his feelings about it. 

    Werenski says, "Yeah, it was cool. I think it's one of those things where I really didn't care too much about it until I got to like, maybe game 19 or 20. I feel like leading up to that, I really didnt think I'd even come close to the record. But, things just kind of fell my way right? A lot has to go right for a streak like that to happen. It wasn't all me, a lot of it was my teammates and some lucky bounces. But, yeah a little disappointed, it's one of those things where I don't really care, I didn't lose sleep over it or anything, but it would've been cool to kind of make a push for it. But, I'll take the win last night, I'll take the two points for our team and just move forward now."

    As always, Zach is a constant professional and answers his questions like one. The streak was impressive, and one we may not see again in the NHL for a long time. He can be modest all he wants, but in the people's eyes who follow Columbus, they are extremely saddened that the streak was snapped. 

    The full interview is below. He talks about 4-Nations, last night's game, and James van Riemsdyk. Take a listen.
