The Flyers erased a two-goal deficit late in the third period thanks to a pair of Travis Sanheim goals to force overtime, but Seth Jones scored the winner just 10 seconds into the extra frame to give Columbus the win and the extra point on Thursday night at the Wells Fargo Center.
Anthony Stolarz made 26 saves on 30 shots in the losing effort, keeping the Flyers competitive for most of the game while the Blue Jackets piled up the shots and chances before Sanheim’s heroics. Claude Giroux had a goal and an assist and Travis Konecny chipped in two assists to lead the Flyers, who didn’t get much help outside of the four men already mentioned.
