It’s late in the third period, in front of a packed house at Nationwide Arena. With 16.5 seconds left, the visiting team scores. Sounds familiar, right?
What are the odds that two games on back-to-back nights, both in Columbus, feature late goals at the same exact moment?
Fortunately for the boys in Union Blue, that 6-on-5 goal by Brayden Schenn was not a game winner. His goal merely matched the one goal the Blue Jackets had been defending for the second half of the game. Rather than costing a point, it just meant Columbus had to work harder for the second point.
