Philadelphia Flyers at Columbus Blue Jackets

Blue Jackets rally past Flyers 3-2 in shootout for fifth straight win

Zach Werenski scored twice for Columbus, including the game-tying goal with 4:37 remaining in regulation. The Blue Jackets earned their first win against Philadelphia in three matchups this season.

Daniil Tarasov made 23 saves, helping the Blue Jackets earn a season-high fifth straight victory, their longest streak since the 2019-20 season.

Bobby Brink and Owen Tippett scored for Philadelphia, while Ivan Fedotov stopped 27 shots. The Flyers saw their two-game win streak snapped.

Takeaways Flyers: Philadelphia showed resilience despite playing the second half of a back-to-back. They maintained their physicality and led twice but couldn’t finish.

Blue Jackets: Columbus struggled with consistency early in the game but found its footing late. A determined third period, strong overtime, and a near-flawless shootout sealed the victory.

Key moment After a scoreless overtime, Johnson and Marchenko scored in the shootout for Columbus, while Tarasov denied both Flyers attempts.

Key stat Werenski’s two goals brought his season total to 15. He has 50 points — the most by any defenseman this season. He is also the seventh defenseman in NHL history to record a 17-game home point streak.
