COLUMBUS, Ohio (AP) – Kevin Connauton scored his first goal of the season off a lead pass from Ryan Johansen at 1:58 of overtime to lift the Blue Jackets past the Philadelphia Flyers 3-2 on Tuesday night for their fourth straight win.
Johansen took a drop pass and waited for Connauton to slip past Matt Read. He then fed a pass to Connauton for the high shot that beat former CBJ goalie Steve Mason.
Boone Jenner scored in his career-best fourth straight game, and Scott Hartnell also had a goal. Sergei Bobrovsky made 19 saves.
Brayden Schenn had both goals for the Flyers, including one after a video review with 55.3 seconds left in the third period. Mason stopped 21 shots.
The Blue Jackets return to action on Thursday when they play the Washington Capitals at Verizon Center (7:00 p.m.).
