The Blue Jackets record is now 10-7-2, with 22 points, and sit in the second Wild Card position.
Zach Werenski(5), Adam Fantilli(6), and Dmitri Voronkov(8) all scored for the Blue Jackets, and Goaltender Jet Greaves played yet another great game in a 4-3 shootout win over the slumping Montréal Canadiens. Greaves stopped 29 of 32 shots.
The Jackets now have earned points in 5 straight games (3-0-2), while the Canadiens have dropped 6 of their last 7.
The Jackets blew another multi-goal third-period lead. No, you're not having a recurring dream. It actually happened again. It feels like they take their foot off the gas when they have a lead.
Thankfully, Jet Greaves was again phenomenal, making six saves in the overtime period to get the Jackets to a shootout. Kirill Marchenko would score the shootout winner, making him 4/4 in shootouts this year.
Take the two points and move on to Winnipeg.
