Four goals in the first period plus late tally by Cole Sillinger lifts Columbus to victory over Montreal.
Despite allowing the first goal inside a cavernous Bell Centre devoid of fans, the Jackets defeated the Montreal Canadiens 6-3 for their second straight victory and first consecutive wins since late November.
It was similar to how the Jackets responded Friday in a 5-3 victory over the New York Rangers at Nationwide Arena. In that game, they quickly fell behind 2-0 before responding with four goals spread over the first two periods for a 4-2 lead. It was also first time the Blue Jackets scored four goals in the first period since Feb. 26, 2018, a 5-1 victory over the Washington Capitals in Columbus, and was their second four-goal period of the month. The previous one happened in the third period Jan. 13 to help the Blue Jackets clinch a 6-0 victory over the Carolina Hurricanes in Raleigh.
“They’ve had some tough luck with their goalie, so we just wanted to shoot as many pucks as we can,” Laine said of the struggling Canadiens. “I think we could’ve put up some more shots, but that was enough for tonight.” Their goals in Montreal were separated by a longer timeframe, but seeing the talented young forwards score in the same game, again, was more evidence that both are growing into impact players the Blue Jackets need in their rebuild.
