Another overtime win under the Columbus Blue Jackets' belt after they took down the Calgary Flames by a score of 1-0.
Sergei Bobrovsky came out with another shutout and the Blue Jackets found a way to get it done after facing a tough test in Flames goaltender Mike Smith.
John Tortorella
On patience and composure: "Yes, Smitty (Mike Smith) played a good game and Dave (Fox Sports Ohio reporter Dave Maetzold) I think that is an important point as you go into the middle half of the game, the end of the game, really didn't give them much. I think they had six or seven scoring chances going into the third period. That was the key, don't open yourself up, keep your patience but also stay on your toes. I thought we did a pretty good job of that."
On the mood on the bench: "It's good. There is no panic. I'm not saying that because we won. I really feel they're comfortable in these situations. I thought we did, stayed on our toes, kept on playing."
On the team's identity: "We played good tonight. The team, the way we played tonight deserved to win. We had some chances, Smitty was good. So we played a really good hockey game tonight. I do think, not based on tonight's game but I'll say yes to your question we have found different way's to win this year. We have won some games we didn't deserve to win and the goaltender played well. We have won games where we have played a pocket of seven or eight minutes and found a way to win it then. So sure, we have won in different ways."

On what it was like being in the middle of a goalie duel: "It was back and forth. Both goalies played good. No one could really score until OT. It was fun to play, two good goalies, a lot of chances."
On what the win means for the team and what they're trying to build: "Well every game we win now, we've won I think four in a row (ed. note: it's five), so it's good to keep building on that and you know, keep playing good games."
Josh Anderson
On whether it was easier to joke about his third-period miss after scoring the overtime winner: "Yeah, now it is. If that didn't happen, I'd still be a little worried there. But yeah, it was a good finish."
On what he was thinking about during the overtime winner: "Just to beat him. Not make the same mistake I did in the third there. Nicky (Nick Foligno) made a great play over the turnover and I just saw the opening on the high glove so I just tried to put it in a place and it went in."
Sergei Bobrovsky
On if the Blue Jackets have improved in late game situations: "Yeah, well, I don't personally analyze those things, don't compare, you know, we just stay with our plan. Stay with a structure and play our game. Stay composed and good things are happening for us."
On being confident in overtime: "Well, obviously, every game is a new game. You don't think about what's happened in the past. You try to compete for the extra point in overtime. It doesn't matter what happened before, what's the record. You know, it is right now it's a new overtime and you focus on it."
