Brandon Dubinsky and Cam Atkinson each had a goal and an assist to give the visiting Columbus Blue Jackets a 5-2 victory over the slumping Montreal Canadiens in the second game of a home-and-home series on Tuesday.
Boone Jenner, Scott Hartnell and Brandon Saad, in an empty net, also scored for the Blue Jackets (19-27-5). Rookie goaltender Joonas Korpisalo stopped 27-of-29 shots for his fifth win of the season -- replacing the injured Sergei Bobrovsky.
Korpisalo improved to 4-0-1 in his last five starts.
Devante Smith-Pelly and Alex Galchenyuk scored for Montreal (24-22-4). Ben Scrivens, still winless in a Canadiens uniform, made 21 saves in defeat.
Montreal lost captain Max Pacioretty to injury midway through the second period after he took a P.K. Subban slapshot to the left side of his face. Pacioretty, the team's leading scorer with 19 goals, did not return in the third.
The Blue Jackets, which started the day last in the NHL standings, have now won back-to-back games versus Montreal for the first time since 2011. Atkinson scored a hat trick to sink the Canadiens 5-2 on Monday in Columbus.
