The Columbus Blue Jackets couldn’t win five games in a row to start the 2019 Stanley Cup Playoffs run, falling in the first game of the Eastern Conference Semifinal to the Boston Bruins in overtime, 3-2.
Columbus shrugged off a rusty start and pulled itself out of a 1-0 deficit with two third period goals that came 13 seconds apart. Brandon Dubinsky deflected in a Riley Nash shot and an Artemi Panarin chance bounced off of Pierre-Luc Dubois to give the Blue Jackets a 2-1 lead in the final period of regulation.
