Mandatory Credit: Russell LaBounty-Imagn Images Adam Fantilli scored at 3:32 of overtime to give the Columbus Blue Jackets a 4-3 win over the visiting Anaheim Ducks on Tuesday night.
Fantilli netted the unassisted goal from the slot 1-on-1 against Ducks defenseman Olen Zellweger after carrying the puck into the Anaheim zone with speed.
Zach Werenski logged two goals and an assist, Boone Jenner had a goal and an assist and Kent Johnson recorded two assists for Columbus, which had lost five in a row (0-4-1). Jet Greaves made 25 saves for the victory.
Anaheim's Mikael Granlund had a goal and an assist, Ryan Strome and Jackson LaCombe also scored, and Ryan Poehling had two assists. Ville Husso stopped 24 shots in the finale of the five-game road trip (2-2-1) for Anaheim, which was coming off a 4-1 win against the New York Rangers on Monday night.
LaCombe tied it 3-3 with 3:16 left in the third period when he carried the puck below the goal line and banked his shot off Greaves' helmet and into the net.
Werenski scored the only goal of the first period off a drop pass from Jenner at 8:21 before the teams combined for four goals in just under two minutes early in the second.
Strome worked a give-and-go with Poehling and scored from the slot to tie it 1-1 at 3:35.
Werenski tallied 24 seconds later when he elected not to pass to Isac Lundestrom at the end of a 2-on-1 rush and shot the puck under Husso's glove and into the net for a 2-1 lead.
Columbus made it 3-1 at 4:18 when Jenner, after his tip was saved by Husso, followed up and scored the rebound.
The fourth line for the Ducks cut it to 3-2 after Blue Jackets defenseman Denton Mateychuk fell while handling the puck in his zone, leading to a 3-on-2 Anaheim rush. Frank Vatrano dropped the puck for Granlund, who scored near side from the inside edge of the left circle at 5:29.
