Mathieu Olivier scored short-handed in a three-goal first period and the last-place Columbus Blue Jackets beat the Bruins 5-1.

So far, the secrets to success for the Blue Jackets haven’t been secrets at all. Columbus is at its best when it plays a simpler game, getting pucks into the zone and forcing teams to try to get them out, then playing with aggressive pressure to force turnovers and get going on the rush.
