Patrik Laine led the Blue Jackets with a goal and two assists. Kirill Marchenko and Boone Jenner also scored for Columbus, who sit at the bottom of the NHL's standings. Gaudreau was awarded a penalty shot five minutes into the opening period when Calgary defenceman MacKenzie Weegar hooked him on a breakaway.
