The 31-year-old goaltender turned aside 34 of 35 shots against in a 4-1 win over the Blue Jackets at Nationwide Arena.
For his part, Tomas Tatar scored twice during the contest.
The Slovak sniper lit the lamp with his 15th goal of the year in the first period, before adding his 16th in the middle frame to snap a 10-game goal drought.
Following the tilt, the group as a whole felt a real sense of accomplishment.
"It's a tough place to play. They're a good team, but lately we feel like we can beat anybody and we played well tonight," explained Tatar, who registered his fourth multi-goal game of the season. "It's hard to win on the road, but we were ready. I don't think we changed anything. We just executed and we have to do it again on Saturday."
