NHL roundup: Panarin's OT goal lifts Blue Jackets over Caps

Nicklas Backstrom had been whistled for slashing just 12 seconds earlier, and
that gave Columbus the extra man. Seth Jones slid a pass over to Panarin by
the left circle, and he ripped a slap shot past goalie Pheonix Copley for the
game-winner. It was Panarin's second game-winning goal in overtime in the last
two games as the Jackets on Thursday beat the Nashville Predators 4-3.

Cam Atkinson scored the other goal, and Joonas Korpisalo made 32 saves as the
Blue Jackets won for the ninth time in 12 games. Washington's three-game
winning streak came to an end.

stopped 10 of 11 shots in goal. The starter Holtby was poked in the face about
midway through the second period and left the game.
