COLUMBUS -- Josh Anderson scored the winner 2:38 into overtime to lift the Columbus Blue Jackets to a come-from-behind 2-1 win over the Winnipeg Jets in NHL action at Nationwide Arena Friday night.
The result spoiled a splendid effort by Jets goalie Steve Mason, who stopped 34 shots and helped Winnipeg kill off all six Columbus power plays.
Mason entered the game with a dreadful 5.96 goals-against average and .846 save percentage in his first three starts since signing a two-year, US$8.2-million contract in the off-season, but he found a steady rhythm and a chance to break out in his slump with a tidy performance in the city where he began his NHL career.
