Blue Jackets Defeat Flyers 3-2 in Shootout

The Columbus Blue Jackets secured their fifth consecutive victory by defeating the Philadelphia Flyers 3-2 in a shootout on Tuesday night, marking their longest winning streak since the 2019-20 season. Zach Werenski played a pivotal role, scoring both the game-tying goal late in regulation and contributing in the shootout, while Daniil Tarasov made crucial saves throughout the game. The Flyers initially led 1-0 with Bobby Brink's goal and regained the lead 2-1 with Owen Tippett's score in the third period, but Werenski's late goal forced overtime. In the shootout, Kent Johnson and Kirill Marchenko scored for Columbus, while Tarasov denied both Flyers' attempts. The loss ended Philadelphia's two-game win streak but extended their point streak to three games. Both teams will look to bounce back in their next matchups on Thursday.
