COLUMBUS, Ohio (AP) --- Adam Fantilli scored with 1:28 left in overtime to lift
the Columbus Blue Jackets to a 4--3 win over the Anaheim Ducks on Tuesday
night, snapping a five-game losing streak.
Zach Werenski scored twice and added an assist in his 600th NHL game, Boone
Jenner had a goal and an assist, and Kent Johnson added two assists. Jet
Greaves stopped 24 shots for his first win since Nov. 20.
Mikael Granlund had a goal and an assist, Ryan Strome and Jackson LaCombe also
scored goals, and Ryan Poehling recorded two assists for Anaheim. Ville Husso
made 24 saves as the Ducks dropped three games on their five-city road trip.
Werenski gave Columbus an early lead at 8:21 of the first period, burying a
feed from Jenner to extend his home point streak to 11 games.
Strome pulled the Ducks even with a wrister from the crease at 3:35 of the
second period, but Columbus responded with two goals in a 43-second span.
Werenski put the Blue Jackets back on top before Jenner backhanded in the
rebound of an Ivan Provorov shot just 19 seconds later to make it 3--1.
After Granlund pulled Anaheim within a goal at 5:29, LaCombe tied the score
with 3:16 left in the third. Fantilli then ended it in overtime with a wrister
from the right circle.
The win was Columbus' first over Anaheim in Nationwide Arena since Dec. 1, 2017.
