Dmitri Voronkov gave the Blue Jackets a 1-0 lead at 5:17 of the first period. He took a lead pass from Monahan and scored on a breakaway as he was tripped from behind by Brandon Carlo, who bundled the puck into the net while trying to make a defensive play.

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

Compare that to Monday’s visitors to TD Garden, Columbus. The Blue Jackets sit largely midpack in most major team stats, outside of allowing even more goals than the Bruins have — 3.59 per game, the NHL’s fourth worst.
