News
As the hats and caps rained down, R.J. Umberger smiled, pumped his fist and savored the moment. Umberger scored three goals for his second career hat trick to lead Columbus past the St. Louis Blues 5-2 on Monday night, ending the Blue Jackets' five-game losing skid. "It's pretty neat. I don't have them very often," Umberger said. "Someone like [teammate Rick] Nash, it happens more. You have that night every once in a while -- it just seems like the puck goes in. Sometimes it just pays off, for your hard work." After 10 days of frustration, the Blue Jackets felt as if a burden had been lifted. "Whoever put that first empty-netter in, it just felt like a big relief," Umberger said, referring to Antoine Vermette's goal that made it 4-2 in the final minute. "[It was] some insurance. We didn't want to be at 3-2 battling in the last minute in our zone." Umberger picked up his third goal on an empty-netter in the final seconds. He also had an assist and finished at plus-4.

Blue Jackets G Steve Mason won the goaltender battle with non-relative Chris Mason stopping 27 shots, including Paul Kariya's wrister from the high slot with just over a minute left that would have tied it, during a 5-2 win against the Blue Jackets on Monday. Chris Mason would finish with 22 saves. St. Louis rallied from a 2-0 deficit to tie the game heading into the third. Columbus then scored three unanswered goals, including a pair of empty-net scores.

News
The Blue Jackets have placed Rostislav Klesla on injured reserve after the defenseman sustained a lower body injury in a game against St. Louis. Blue Jackets general manager Scott Howson announced the move on Tuesday. Klesla was injured in a mid-ice collision with the Blues' Barret Jackman during the first period of the Blue Jackets' 5-2 victory Monday night. He is believed to have torn a groin muscle and is expected to be sidelined for at least a month. Klesla lay on the ice for 5 minutes and did not put any weight on his left leg when he was helped off. Columbus brought up defenseman Mathieu Roy from the team's AHL affiliate in Syracuse to replace Klesla.
