COLUMBUS, Ohio (WCMH) — Seth Jones scored twice including the game winner as the Blue Jackets beat the Carolina Hurricanes 3-2 in overtime Thursday night. Jones now has eight overtime goals as a Blue Jacket, the most in franchise history.
Jones took advantage of a 2-on-1 situation sniping the game-wining shot with only 51 seconds left in overtime.
The Blue Jackets have gone to extra time in four-straight games winning twice in overtime in their last three games. Joonas Korpisalo made 23 saves in the win, including a few huge saves in OT.
