COLUMBUS, Ohio (AP) — Struggling to score goals and with several important offensive players sidelined, the Columbus Blue Jackets pulled out a gritty win — just the way coach John Tortorella wants his team to play.

"That scratching, clawing, spitting, biting doing everything you can to win the game, we did it," Tortorella said.

DETROIT (AP) — The last thing Columbus Blue Jackets defenseman Jack Johnson expected as their shootout with the Detroit Red Wings dragged on was that he'd hear his name called.

Johnson scored in the ninth round of the shootout to give the Blue Jackets a 2-1 victory over the Red Wings on Saturday night.

"I hadn't done a shootout in a long time," Johnson said. "You're half watching for entertainment and half watching for just in case it goes a long way."
