NHL ROUNDUP
BLUE JACKETS 4, THRASHERS 3: Raffi Torres scored two uncontested second-period goals and Columbus held off hosting Atlanta. The Thrashers, coming off road wins at Ottawa and Montreal, lost for the fourth time in five home games. The Blue Jackets took a 2-0 lead in the first period when Jakub Voracek and Derick Brassard each had a goal and an assist, and Columbus never trailed. Mathieu Garon stopped 32 shots in his first start against the Thrashers since 2000. CANADIENS 2, BRUINS 1 (SO): Patrice Bergeron's goal with 52 seconds left in regulation helped Boston avoid a historic third straight shutout, but Michael Cammalleri scored in the shootout to give visiting Montreal the victory. Boston had not scored in 192 minutes, 6 seconds, dating to Vladimir Sobotka's goal at 7:02 of the third period against Edmonton on Saturday. The Bruins had not been shut out in three straight games since Eddie Shore and the 1928-29 squad scored just once over five games from Feb. 2-14, 1929. That team went on to earn Boston's first Stanley Cup title. -- From Wire ReportsAdvertisement
