The Columbus Blue Jackets came back against the Toronto Maple Leafs in impressive fashion to tie it up then send it into overtime.
Artemi Panarin finished the game off with a goal from a sensational Zach Werenski pass. Look at it all unfold in the GIF's from 1st Ohio Battery tonight.
The first goal for the Blue Jackets late in the third period was an odd bounce that started one of the best rallies from the team in quite a while.
Schroeder's first goal as a Blue Jacket.

Followed up shortly afterward, Pierre-Luc Dubois took a pass from Seth Jones and turned it into the game-tying goal. Dubois has been a revelation for the team, and this goal proved that point once again.

The game would then go to overtime where the Blue Jackets once again was set up to shine. It started with a Sergei Bobrovsky save on Tyler Bozak before the play went the other way.

Then Panarin carried the puck into the offensive zone and passed it to Werenski. It took a significant amount of skill for Werenski to knock it down then give it back to Panarin for the game-winning goal.
Werenski knocks down the Panarin pass and then somehow feeds it back to Panarin for the game-winner. That is a lot of skill on display. #CBJ pic.twitter.com/j8SL4epH7D
