ST. PAUL, Minn., Dec. 1 (UPI) -- Jaroslav Balastik scored in the final round of a shootout Wednesday to give the Columbus Blue Jackets a 3-2 victory over the Minnesota Wild.

Trevor Letowski and Duvie Westcott scored goals for Columbus, which matched a season high with its second win in a row. The Blue Jackets finished the month just 3-10. Pascal Leclaire made 32 saves in the victory and stopped all three shots he faced in the shootout.

Mikko Koivu and Randy Robitaille scored for Minnesota, which rallied from a two-goal deficit to force overtime but lost for the fifth time in its last seven games.

Manny Fernandez made 29 saves in defeat, but was brilliant in overtime when he stopped all seven shots he faced.
