After Marchenko slid the puck between Casey DeSmith鈥檚 pads, Columbus goalie Elvis Merzlikins blocked Pius Suter鈥檚 shot to help the Blue Jackets鈥 end a three-game losing streak.

Columbus rallied three times in regulation with Dmitri Voronkov鈥檚 second goal of game with 9:03 left in the third period forcing the overtime.

Miller got credit for his 20th goal on a deflected puck that tumbled past Merzlikins in the first period.
