After a tame first period, a wild affair played out between the Columbus Blue Jackets and Colorado Avalanche that saw the Blue Jackets hold on 5-4 in OT Wednesday night. The Avs went up 2-0 in the second, gave up four unanswered goals, and fought back with two 6-on-5 goals late in the third to even get it to overtime.
It was a tale of two games for the Avs, who were dominant early on, fell behind late, were resilient later on, but came out on the wrong end. Despite the negative result, the Avs were quite frankly lucky to get a point out of the game.
