Nick Suzuki's goal in the second period was pivotal in the Montreal Canadiens' 5-1 win over the Columbus Blue Jackets at Bell Centre. Alongside Suzuki, Mike Matheson, Lucas Condotta, Jake Evans, and Josh Anderson contributed to the Canadiens' scoring, marking a recovery from a recent losing streak.

Samuel Montembeault's performance in goal was notable, as he secured his fifth career win against the Blue Jackets. Columbus's Dante Fabbro scored his first goal with the team, but it wasn't enough to change the outcome.
