Sergei Bobrovsky stopped all 30 shots he faced Tuesday against the Detroit Red Wings as the Columbus Blue Jackets earned their seventh straight victory.

Bobrovsky stopped seven shots in the first period, 14 in the second, seven in the third and two in overtime during the 1-0 shootout win. He robbed Gustav Nyquist on a rebound opportunity in the second period to keep the score knotted at 0-0.

The Blue Jackets were languishing at the bottom of the Metropolitan Division in November but have pulled even in points with the New Jersey Devils for fifth in the division with two games in hand.

Bobrovsky capped the victory by stopping Henrik Zetterberg in the third round of the shootout.
