Blue Jackets shut out Flames

COLUMBUS: Josh Anderson scored two minutes into overtime to give the Columbus Blue Jackets their fifth straight win, 1-0 over the Calgary Flames on Wednesday night.

Sergei Bobrovsky had 22 saves for Columbus in his third shut-out this season and 22nd of his career. Mike Smith turned away 40 shots for Calgary.

It was the first time this season that either team ended regulation scoreless.

The Jackets outshot Calgary 2-1 for much of the game.

The Flames, however, dominated puck possession in the first 90 seconds of overtime before the Jackets pushed into the offensive zone.

Calgary’s TJ Brodie sought to set up play from behind his own net, but the puck rolled off onto the stick of Nick Foligno, who sent it to Anderson for the game-winner.

In Nashville, Filip Forsberg scored a pair of power-play goals and Kyle Turris had the only goal in a shoot-out to lead Nashville over struggling Montreal 3-2.

Pekka Rinne made 27 saves in regulation and overtime, then denied all three Montreal shoot-out attempts as Nashville won for the eighth time in nine games.

Jordie Benn and Joe Morrow scored for the Canadiens, who have lost their last five. Morrow’s goal evened the score with less than a minute left in the third period.

In the tie-breaker, Turris beat Antti Niemi with a wrist shot between the pads.

In Tampa, Brayden Point scored a power-play goal 3:25 minutes into overtime, and Tampa Bay rallied again to beat Chicago 3-2.

Point took a pass from Steven Stamkos while positioned near the post and put the winner past Corey Crawford.

Tampa Bay got also goals from Ondrej Palat and Chris Kunitz, and Andrei Vasilevskiy made 29 saves. Ryan Callahan had two assists.

Patrick Kane scored twice and Crawford stopped 35 shots for the Blackhawks.

In Washington, Alex Ovechkin scored his first goal in seven games, Jakub Vrana had two goals for the first time in his career and the Washington beat Ottawa 5-2.

Ovechkin’s 14th goal came in his first game this season as linemates with Nicklas Backstrom, who led the team in assists last season. Backstrom assisted on the play.

Evgeny Kuznetsov added a goal and two assists, and Alex Chiasson had a goal and an assist for the Capitals, who have earned at least a point against the Senators in nine consecutive meetings.
