The Columbus Blue Jackets, down a sick Artemi Panarin and coming off a cratering at the hands of Tampa Bay the previous night, dropped a chippy Eastern Conference battle at Montreal on Tuesday evening, 3-2.
Josh Anderson and Nick Folingo each scored to erase a 2-0 Canadiens lead, but a Tomas Tatar goal with under seven minutes to play sealed the win for the Habs. Boone Jenner also picked up a pair of assists for the CBJ. Sergei Bobrovsky stopped 29 of 32 shots while Carey Price made 31 saves on 33 shots.
