In overtime, the Columbus Blue Jackets defeated the Los Angeles Kings 6-5 in the definition of a barn burner. It had a bit of everything: a power play goal, a shorthanded goal, blown leads, momentum shifts, Jack Roslovic goals, a wild overtime winner AND an official review that went the Jackets’ way.
