Kent Johnson and Kirill Marchenko scored in the shootout as the Columbus Blue Jackets rallied to defeat the Philadelphia Flyers 3-2 on Tuesday night. Zach Werenski scored twice for Columbus, including the game-tying goal with 4:37 remaining in regulation.

The Flyers have had the Blue Jackets’ number going into this game as their previous two meetings resulted in a 5-3 home loss on Dec. 12 and a 5-4 overtime loss on Dec. 21. However, Evason’s team learned from those games and came into this one knowing what they needed to do to win.

The Flyers extended their point streak to three games but shootout goals by Columbus' Adam Fantilli and Kirill Marchenko were the difference.

COLUMBUS -- Zach Werenski tied it late in the third period with his second goal of the game for the Columbus Blue Jackets, who won their fifth straight with a 3-2 shootout victory against the Philadelphia Flyers at Nationwide Arena on Tuesday.

Columbus has dealt with tragedy and other setbacks by getting into playoff position and playing a way that would have made Johnny Gaudreau proud, says Ken Campbell.

Columbus (20-17-6, in the Metropolitan Division) has won four straight games and is 7-2-1 in its last 10 games. Philly can get to .500 with a win.
