Gudbranson gave the Blue Jackets a 3-2 lead at 9:24 of the third with his first goal since Dec. 2, 2022, a one-timer just outside the right circle.
“To come back the way we did in the third, that response facing the adversity and how we dealt with it, that's what we're looking for,” Blue Jackets coach Pascal Vincent said. “That's the type of win that builds character and builds confidence that, ‘OK, we did it once, we can do it over and over and over.’ For everyone that was a big one.”
Gaudreau scored into an empty net at 17:49 for the final margin.
“We came out in the third and had some good juice,” Jenner said. “We were playing on our toes and to get rewarded was good. We come back with a couple of good shifts and bang, we get another one. I like the response from us.”
