Since opening the season 1-8-4-0, the Blue Jackets are 6-4-1-1 at Nationwide Arena.Tugnutt won his second in a row, and recorded the Blue Jackets' first shutout of the season.

He looked rusty early on.He was penalized for delay of game after sending the puck over the glass just two minutes into the game, and the Blue Jackets' first period goals came on successive shots.Knutsen threaded a back-hand pass from the left corner to Nielson for the easy tap-in and his first of the season at 13:00 to open the scoring.Sillinger, who has scored in three straight, sent a wrist shot through a screen and past Burke at 13:53 to make it 2-0.Early in the second period with Trevor Letowski of Phoenix in the penalty box, Knutsen added an insurance goal to make it 3-0 at 3:45. Whitney's high shot from the left circle bounced off Burke's chest, fell to the ice and hit Sillinger's skate before the puck found Knutsen. The goal was the Blue Jackets' fifth power-play goal at home this season.Bruins 6, Lightning 3BOSTON  Sergei Samsonov had a goal and three assists as the Boston Bruins beat the Tampa Bay Lightning and surging goalie Nikolai Khabibulin.Khabibulin had three shutouts in his previous four games, but Samsonov stopped the goalie's scoreless streak at 178 minutes, seven seconds with a goal at 7:46 of the first period.
