Artemi Panarin scores in overtime, Blue Jackets come back to beat Leafs
TORONTO — Columbus Blue Jackets goaltender Sergei Bobrovsky had a difficult time holding back his smile after his team’s come-from-behind victory over the Toronto Maple Leafs on Monday.
Bobrovsky made 35 saves, and kept his team hanging around in the third period long enough to erase a two-goal deficit en route to a 3-2 overtime win.
Toronto looked to have secured two points, but Columbus scored twice in the final 4:35 of regulation and Artemi Panarin completed the comeback at 3:11 of the extra period.
“Those kind of wins make good atmosphere in the locker-room, lots of energy, lots of happiness,” said the 2017 Vezina Trophy winner.
