COLUMBUS, Ohio — Jakub Voracek scored the winner in the fourth round of the shootout to lift the Columbus Blue Jackets to a 3-2 victory over the Edmonton Oilers on Monday night.

After Voracek's goal, Mathieu Garon stopped Gilbert Brule to secure Columbus' fourth win in five games.

Anton Stralman had a goal and assist and Antoine Vermette also scored for the Blue Jackets.
