Columbus Blue Jackets forward Brandon Saad continues to do his best work on the man advantage.

The 23-year-old notched his fifth power-play goal of the season Friday, launching a backhand shot over the glove hand of Pittsburgh Penguins goaltender Marc-Andre Fleury to give the Blue Jackets a 2-0 advantage.

The goal was Saad's second point of the second period, after he helped set up Scott Hartnell's marker 1:41 earlier.
