    A drama-filled day for the Columbus Blue Jackets started with the public reprimand and benching of the No. 1 goaltender and ended with an overtime goal in a game that nearly slipped away.

    Sergei Bobrovsky, who has rebuffed the Blue Jackets' efforts to re-sign him, was scratched for Thursday's game for disciplinary reasons, with the team citing an unspecified "incident" but making it clear in a public statement that he failed to meet team "expectations and values."

    That put backup Joonas Korpisalo in the net and required the call-up of another goalie from the AHL team in Cleveland.

    Some 12 hours later, Artemi Panarin scored his second goal of the game 1:22 into overtime to lift the Blue Jackets to a 4-3 win over the Nashville Predators, who had surged back from a two-goal deficit in the third period to tie the score and force the extra time.
