Kevin Connauton's OT goal gives Blue Jackets 4th straight win, 3-2 over Philadelphia Flyers

COLUMBUS, Ohio — Kevin Connauton scored his first goal of the season off a lead pass from Ryan Johansen at 1:58 of overtime to lift the Columbus Blue Jackets past the Philadelphia Flyers 3-2 on Tuesday night for their fourth straight win.

Johansen took a drop pass and waited for Connauton to slip past Matt Read. He then fed a pass to Connauton for the high shot that beat Steve Mason.

Boone Jenner scored in his career-best fourth straight game, and Scott Hartnell also had a goal. Sergei Bobrovsky made 19 saves.

Brayden Schenn had both goals for the Flyers, including one after a video review with 55.3 seconds left in the third period. Mason stopped 21 shots.

With the Flyers trailing 2-1, former Columbus forward Jakub Voracek's shot from the point deflected off Schenn in the crease and trickled through Bobrovsky's pads. The on-ice call of no goal was overturned.

Columbus' longest winning streak of the season follows a six-game skid that was part of a 2-13-2 stretch.

Connauton played his seventh game since being picked up off waivers from Dallas on Nov. 18.

Mason made his first start against his former team in Columbus. He had split four decisions in Philadelphia since he was traded to the Flyers in April 2013. He was the rookie of the year in 2009.

Columbus, plagued by injuries all season, welcomed back center Brandon Dubinsky. An integral leader, he played his first game of the season after abdominal surgery.

The Blue Jackets took a 2-1 with their second power-play goal in two chances.

Midway through the second period, Columbus had the puck in the offensive zone for most of the first 90 seconds of the power play. Defenseman Jack Johnson shot wide, but then centered the puck. Nick Foligno got a stick on it and the puck ended up between Hartnell's skates. He jabbed at it twice before finally pivoting and scoring his sixth of the season but first in 13 games.

Each team scored a power-play goal in the first period.

The Flyers countered late in the period when Claude Giroux's setup from the right circle provided Schenn with a one-timer for his eighth of the season.
