• At a Glance: The Canadiens scored first on Tuesday night, then allowed the Columbus Blue Jackets to take the lead, twice. Thankfully, the Canadiens had the last laugh  - and the last goal - in a 5-3 win at the Bell Centre. Michael Cammalleri, Marc-André Bergeron with two, Glen Metropolit and Maxim Lapierre score for the Canadiens, who saw Carey Price make 33 saves for his seventh win of the season. Antoine Vermette beat Price twice, while Anton Stralman scored the other Blue Jackets goal. Two Columbus goals were scored on the power play. Former Canadien Mathieu Garon surrendered the five goals on 29 shots.

• Key Moments: Trailing 3-2 and enjoying a power play to start the third period, the Canadiens scored only 21 seconds after the power play to tie the game and scored the game winner two minutes later as the Blue Jackets began to fade in the third period.

• What It Means: The Canadiens won for only the fourth time in regulation this season, and improve to 12-11-1 on the season.

• What's Next: The Canadiens leave right after the game for Pittsburgh where they take on the Penguins on Wednesday night. After that game, the Habs wrap up November with a home date against the Capitals on Saturday.
