COLUMBUS, Ohio -- Casey DeSmith has tended goal for a lot of years, which means he has given up a lot of goals.
More than he would care to remember, probably, unless the objective is to put himself into therapy.
But never, DeSmith said, had he allowed one quite like the game-winner in the Blue Jackets' 3-1 exhibition victory against the Penguins at Nationwide Arena today.
Chances are that not many other goaltenders have, either.
Eric Robinson was credited with it at 2:12 of the third period, after his shot from the hash mark along the left-wing boards caromed off the leg of Penguins defenseman Erik Gudbranson, then sailed past DeSmith on the short side before striking him near the nameplate on his sweater and dropping over the goal line to break a 1-1 tie.
