COLUMBUS, Ohio -- Led by Josh Anderson's three-point night, the Columbus Blue Jackets beat the Tampa Bay Lightning 5-1 Tuesday at Nationwide Arena.

A less-than capacity crowd of 10,366 witnessed the Blue Jackets establish franchise records for wins (nine) and points (21) for November.

The Blue Jackets (12-5-4) finished with a 9-2-3 record for the month despite winning just twice in the past five games.

"I thought the first period we were really concerned about their speed and talent level," Blue Jackets coach John Tortorella said. "I felt we controlled the neutral zone really well. I thought out 'D' stood in there and played with swagger.

"That's a solid win against a really good team."

Sergei Bobrovsky stopped 25 shots for his 12th win of the season. Scott Hartnell added a goal and an assist for Columbus, which also got goals from William Karlsson, Alexander Wennberg and Sam Gagner while building a 5-0 lead.

The Lightning (13-10-1) lost a third consecutive game, only breaking Bobrovsky's shutout bid on Valtteri Filppula's goal at 17:10 of the third period.

Tampa Bay goalie Andrei Vasilevskiy finished with 33 saves. It was the first time he allowed four or more goals in regulation this season.

"They're great teammates because they haven't ripped into us yet for how we're treating them," Tampa Bay center Brian Boyle said about the Lightning's goaltenders.

After creating a turnover in the neutral zone early in the first period, the Blue Jackets came across the Lightning blue line three-on-one. Anderson passed from the center to Karlsson on the wing. Karlsson then wristed a shot past Vasilevskiy, tucking it into the back of the net at the far post at 5:30.

At 3:40 of the second period, Seth Jones teed the puck up for Wennberg after a Lightning turnover, and Wennberg one-timed it past Vasilevskiy to double the Blue Jackets' lead to 2-0.

"Well, listen ... the first adversity that hit us this year was (high-scoring forward Steven) Stamkos going down," Lightning coach Jon Cooper said. "We weathered that storm for a little while, but we've been through this before. I remember the last time he went down, we were OK, but had to find ourselves.

"Right now, we've got to find ourselves. We've lost a little bit of our identity. We can't sit here and think we're going to walk into a game a get in three or four."

An apparent Lightning goal was waved off at 5:32 of second period after Tampa Bay left winger Ondrej Palat and Columbus defenseman Jack Johnson got tangled up in the crease, knocking Bobrovsky off his feet. The NHL replay center ruled that the interference prevented Bobrovsky from making the save.

Anderson pushed the score to 3-0 at 16:00 of the second period on a delayed Lightning penalty.

"I think I feel more comfortable out there," Anderson said. "Every day is a new day, and we're just trying to take it game by game. The team is really gelling together, and we're playing the right way."

The line of Hartnell, Anderson and Karlsson was the most effective for Columbus throughout the first two periods, with Anderson hitting anything in a white jersey and creating chances. Their line finished the night with three goals, three assists and a plus-5 rating.

Off a rush at 1:57 of the third period, Anderson dished the puck to Hartnell, who slapped it past Vasilevskiy to give Columbus a 4-0 lead.

Gagner banked the puck off Vasilevskiy from behind the net to increase the advantage to 5-0 at 12:38 of the third.
