Jenner’s last-minute goal lifts Blue Jackets past Caps 5-4

WASHINGTON — Boone Jenner scored his 19th goal with 44.4 seconds remaining and the Columbus Blue Jackets posted a wild 5-4 victory over the Washington Capitals on Tuesday night.

Jenner scored less than two minutes after Washington’s Tom Wilson tied the game on a 6-on-5 chance. The Blue Jackets rallied from an early 2-0 deficit.

Patrik Laine scored his 11th and 12th goals of the season, Trey Fix-Wolansky gave Columbus its first lead in his NHL debut and Adam Boqvist added a goal and an assist.

Laine also assisted Jenner’s winner, and Gustav Nyquist had two assists, providing the key pass leading to Jenner’s back-hand finish past Ilya Samsonov.
