2. R.J. Umberger scored the only goal of the second period, recording his 21st goal just 51 seconds into play. R.J. now has 50 points on the season (21-29-50), matching a career high. It was Umberger's 11th goal in 25 games against the Isles.
3. The Blue Jackets struck for two goals in the first 1:18 of the third to grab the led. Rick Nash's 31st goal tied the game just 33 seconds into play; Grant Clitsome, playing just his fourth NHL game, then gave the Jackets the lead.
