COLUMBUS (AP) — Pierre Luc-Dubois scored in overtime to lift the Blue Jackets over the Detroit Red Wings 5-4 and keep their playoff plans on track.
Columbus, which is trying to qualify for the playoffs in consecutive years for the first time in franchise history, is one point or a loss by Florida shy of clinching at least a wild-card spot after the Panthers beat Nashville 2-1 on Tuesday night.
Artemi Panarin tied it for Columbus when he put back his own rebound late in the third period. That set the stage for Dubois’ shot from the slot 2:55 into the extra period.
