Down almost half the roster, the scrappy Blue Jackets outlasted the Montreal Canadiens to keep winning ways going
It wasn't the cleanest game for the Blue Jackets or Montreal Canadiens on Thursday night at Nationwide Arena, but it was exciting.
"This wasn't pretty tonight at all, but you have to win ugly in this league at times" Blue Jackets coach Brad Larsen said."I thought 'Korpi' was outstanding.

"I felt like the second was kind of slipping away from us," Olivier said."I missed a on the post earlier and you're No. 1 goal is to contribute. But if you can't get any goals on the board and you feel like the team's slipping, you've got to do something different. I knew he was a young guy. I knew he was a very tough kid and was a guy who was willing to do it. It just felt like it was the right time to do it, he was there and said 'yes' right away.
— Jack Roslovic returned to the lineup after sitting out Tuesday against the Philadelphia Flyers as a healthy scratch. The 25-year old forward started out centering the Blue Jackets’ third line, skating with Liam Foudy and rookie Kent Johnson. He finished the game stapled to the bench for the final nine minutes of the third period along with Foudy and Bemstrom, who was replaced on the top line in the third by rookie Kent Johnson.
