COLUMBUS, Ohio (Ticker) - The Columbus Blue Jackets squandered atwo-goal lead quicker than ever, but they made up for it afterregulation.


Nikolai Zherdev had a goal in regulation and in the third roundof the shootout as Columbus posted a 3-2 victory over theDetroit Red Wings on Saturday.


Rick Nash gave Columbus a 2-1 lead in the shootout, and aftergoaltender Pascal Leclaire stopped Henrik Zetterberg, Zherdevwristed a shot past Osgood to end the game.


It was just Columbus' first win in three games against Detroitthis season.


After Manny Malhotra and Zherdev scored first-period goals togive the Blue Jackets a 2-0 lead, the Red Wings scored two goalsfive seconds apart to level the game.


Tomas Holmstrom scored on a power-play goal at 10:44 and -before the goal was announced - Pavel Datsyuk stole the puckfrom Zherdev at the blue line and blasted a shot from the top ofthe right faceoff circle which beat Leclaire to tie the game.

The quick strikes set a franchise record, which was originallyestablished on November 5, 1936 against Toronto.


The goals were also the fastest two goals allowed by Columbus.The previous record was eight seconds apart set by Nashville onJanuary 21, 2006.


The Blue Jackets opened the scoring when Malhotra scored midwaythough the first period.


Jason Chimera collected a loose puck behind the net andattempted a wrap around. The rebound came to Malhotra, whoseslap shot beat Osgood high to the glove side at 12:35.

COLUMBUS, Ohio (Ticker) - The Columbus Blue Jackets squandered atwo-goal lead quicker than ever, but they made up for it afterregulation.


Nikolai Zherdev had a goal in regulation and in the third roundof the shootout as Columbus posted a 3-2 victory over theDetroit Red Wings on Saturday.


Rick Nash gave Columbus a 2-1 lead in the shootout, and aftergoaltender Pascal Leclaire stopped Henrik Zetterberg, Zherdevwristed a shot past Osgood to end the game.


"We had some good players make some good moves," Columbus coachKen Hitchcock said.


Osgood agreed with Hitchcock's assessment.


"Nash just made a great move," Osgood said. "I wasn't expectingZherdev to just shoot but that's the way the shootout is. It'sfun for the fans, it's a mental game as well. You areexpecting one thing and something totally different happens."

It was just Columbus' first win in three games against Detroitthis season.


"For some reason, playing teams higher up in the standingsbrings out the best in us," Nash said. "It was definitely aplayoff atmosphere tonight and it brought out the best in all ofus."


After Manny Malhotra and Zherdev scored first-period goals togive the Blue Jackets a 2-0 lead, the Red Wings scored two goalsfive seconds apart to level the game.


Tomas Holmstrom scored on a power-play goal at 10:44 and -before that goal was announced - Pavel Datsyuk stole the puckfrom Zherdev at the blue line and blasted a shot from the top ofthe right faceoff circle which beat Leclaire to tie the game.

"The two goals were huge," Detroit coach Mike Babcock said."When Holmstrom scored and then Pavel took the puck away fromZherdev and scored - I thought that we were right back in thegame."


The quick strikes set a franchise record, which was originallyestablished on November 5, 1936 against Toronto.


The goals were also the fastest two goals allowed by Columbus.The previous record was eight seconds apart set by Nashville onJanuary 21, 2006.


"We were OK with it," Hitchcock said. "The disappointment forus was that when it was 2-0, we could have had it 4 or 5-0. Butwe stayed with it, we held together."


The Blue Jackets opened the scoring when Malhotra scored midwaythough the first period.


Jason Chimera collected a loose puck behind the net andattempted a wrap around. The rebound came to Malhotra, whoseslap shot beat Osgood high to the glove side at 12:35.

The Blue Jackets doubled their lead with exactly two minutesremaining in the session when defenseman Ron Hainsey took the<div class="pre">shot at the top of the right faceoff circle which Zherdev</div>redirected past Osgood for his seventh goal of the year.

Leclaire finished with 23 saves for the Blue Jackets, who wontheir second game in a row after a three-game losing streak.

Osgood finished with 26 saves for the Red Wings, who dropped to2-5-0 in their last seven games.


"It's not one thing you can pinpoint," Detroit defensemanNicklas Lidstrom said. "The first 10 games or so, we got somebreaks and we are not getting those now, so we just have to keepworking hard and play out of it."
