After a sluggish first period, the Blue Jackets rebounded to beat Winnipeg 3-1 and sweep the season series against the Jets.
For the second time in the last two games at Nationwide Arena, a goal was scored with less than three seconds left in the third period.— to escape Columbus with a win over the Blue Jackets. But Thursday, the Blue Jackets found themselves in a markedly different situation, and one that has been rare through the first 54 games of this season: they were leading in the game's final seconds, and the goal was to seal a win, rather than decide the outcome.
The Blue Jackets called on Korpisalo again in the second period, and in the third, as they took five penalties in the final two periods — and seven total in the game — but they rewarded their goaltender's efforts with improved energy of their own, shaking off the sluggishness of the opening frame. Patrik Laine scored the tying goal at the exact halfway point of the game, 10 minutes into the second period, on a wrist shot from his power-play office, the left faceoff circle.
"I think we needed that bye week to step away and not think about hockey," defenseman Erik Gudbranson said."I think it did us really well. We came back energized. We came back excited to see each other. There's an understanding, where we're at in the standings. It's not fun, but we have a group understanding that what we do in these last 31 games and what's left of the season after the bye week is going to carry over directly into next year. We better do it right.
Over a combined 126 seconds of facing a two-man deficit, the Blue Jackets didn't allow a single goal. Kyle Connor's power-play goal came one second after the five-on-three expired, so the Blue Jackets were not yet set back up with four penalty-killers, but technically, it wasn't a five-on-three goal.
