COLUMBUS (AP) — Alexandre Texier slickly beat Chris Driedger five-hole in the fourth round of a shootout to lift the Blue Jackets over the Florida Panthers 3-2.
Texier skated slowly in on Driedger and poked the puck between his pads with the back of his stick.
Columbus’ Elvis Merzlikins sealed it by denying Patric Hornqvist, who scored the winning goal in a shootout between the teams Tuesday night.
Florida’s Eetu Luostarinen tied it in the third period, and Carter Verhaeghe also had a goal for the Panthers.
Driedger finished with 29 saves.
