The Canadien's got a SH goal from LW Lorenzo Bocci mid way through the 3rd period to beat the Blue Jackets to start the season. D Matej Ouhrabka added 3 assists in the victory. Columbus out shot Montreal 12 to 4 in the 3rd period to put the pressure on the Habs, but it was the Blue Jackets 0-5 PP that hurt them as they allowed the SH game winner. Montreal's C Chris Hughes was named the 1st star with his 1st goal of the season.
