The Columbus Blue Jackets tied it with two goals late in the third period, and Artemi Panarin scored with 1:49 left in overtime for a 3-2 win against the Toronto Maple Leafs at Air Canada Centre on Monday.
Defenseman Zach Werenski backhanded a pass from below the right face-off circle to the left post for Panarin, who put it into the empty net with goaltender Frederik Andersen out of position.
“Tonight’s win is such an important experience for us,” Panarin said. “The team now knows that even when we are losing throughout the game, it doesn’t mean anything, as there is always a chance to come right back and win. We are very happy. These two points are huge for us.”
