Sam Reinhart's late goal leads Panthers' shocking comeback against Flyers

In a thrilling match held on Saturday night in Columbus, Ohio, the Anaheim Ducks managed to snap their five-game losing streak by defeating the Columbus Blue Jackets 4-3 in overtime. The Ducks found themselves in a challenging position, trailing twice during the game but showed resilience, coming back to secure the victory. Alex Killorn was the hero of the night, scoring two goals including the decisive goal in overtime. Other notable performances included Jackson LaCombe, who contributed a goal and an assist, and Mason McTavish, who celebrated his milestone 100th NHL point. The game concluded the Ducks' four-game road trip on a positive note. They managed to rally back from two one-goal deficits, showcasing their determination to turn their season around. Rookie goalie John Gibson played a significant role in the Ducks' win, making an impressive 39 saves. This victory was particularly important for the Ducks as they had recently traded away longtime defenseman Cam Fowler, a move that could potentially shake the team's dynamics. Nevertheless, the Ducks managed to maintain their composure and build on their historical success at Nationwide Arena, marking their sixth consecutive victory against the Blue Jackets in Columbus since 2018. On the other hand, the Columbus Blue Jackets continued to struggle as they suffered their third consecutive loss at home and now face a broader slump with six losses in their last seven outings. The Blue Jackets saw their goals from Cole Sillinger, Kirill Marchenko, and James van Riemsdyk, but their efforts fell short against the resilient Ducks. This performance leaves the Blue Jackets with growing concerns about their front-line offense after failing to capitalize on their home advantage. Key moments in the game included the Ducks pulling their goalie late in the third period, facilitating LaCombe's tie goal that came with a power play. Meanwhile, the Blue Jackets demonstrated some signs of life with their forechecking but could not hold on for the win. The Ducks will look to build on this momentum as they prepare to host the Winnipeg Jets in their upcoming matchup, while the Blue Jackets will aim to recover when they visit the Carolina Hurricanes for their next game.
