In 64 seconds on Tuesday night, the Blue Jackets flipped the script on the Philadelphia Flyers.
In 79 seconds tonight, the Carolina Hurricanes flipped the script on the Blue Jackets.

Carolina scored three times in the aforementioned 1:19 span, turning a one-goal deficit into a two-goal cushion, and they held on down the stretch for a 3-2 win in large part due to goaltender Eddie Lack, who made 42 saves and was the game’s No.
