Jonathan Drouin scores winner, Canadiens beat Blue Jackets 3-2 in shootout Globe_Sports

Werenski put the visitors ahead with 1 minute 51 seconds left in the game on a beautiful shot into the top corner of the net.

Moments after the Blue Jackets narrowly missed the empty net, Montreal took advantage of the extra skater when Nick Suzuki found Tatar open at the side of the goal with 41 seconds on the clock. After Columbus failed to take advantage of a power play in overtime, Drouin scored the shootout’s only goal while Price stopped all three Columbus shooters.It was an electric goaltender battle on full display early on.

Price made three quick saves on a Columbus power play in the first period, including hard shots from Emil Bemstrom and Josh Anderson in the slot.Merzlikins was also in fine form in the first, making a reaction save on Gallagher’s redirection of Jeff Petry’s shot from the point.Robinson, making his season debut for Columbus, beat Price with a shot between the pads at 16:46 for his first NHL goal. Price could not handle the initial shot from Werenski from the blueline.

Gallagher scored his team-leading eighth of the season at 3:27 with a fairly harmless shot from distance that went five-hole on Merzlikins.The 25-year-old goalie, who began his career in the Swiss league, came into the encounter with an .882 save percentage after four games.Notes: The Jackets finished 0 for 3 with the man advantage. Nick Foligno was serving the first of a three-game suspension. This was the first of three meetings between Montreal and Columbus this year.
