Blue Jackets let one slip away against Canadiens, falling 2-1 on David Savard's winning goal to down his former team
After two periods without a goal, Mathieu Olivier gave Blue Jackets fans something to cheer about barely a minute into the third with a wrist shot into the net for a 1-0 lead.
Rookie defenseman Arber Xhekaj scored the equalizer for Montreal just 1:30 after Olivier’s goal and Savard’s winner deflected off his foot into the net at 3:35 to break the 1-1 tie. Sean Monahan’s empty-net goal with 1:57 left added insurance for the Canadiens, who got a strong effort in net from Sam Montembeault ."First one off a stick, second one off a skate, it's too bad because we were playing a heck of a game," Blue Jackets coach Brad Larsen said.
— Goals were finally scored in the third, starting with Olivier breaking the ice at 1:08 with his second goal of the season to put the Blue Jackets up 1-0. The Canadiens responded with the goals by Xhekaj and Savard less than three minutes later, scoring them just 57 seconds apart. Savard's went off his left skate after Kirby Dach shot it from the right wing.
— Jack Roslovic also returned to the Blue Jackets’ lineup after missing the previous two games with an illness. Roslovic centered the second line, skating with rookies Kent Johnson at left wing and Trey Fix-Wolansky on the right. It’s been a tough start for Roslovic, who has one goal, five assists and six points in 16 games.
