COLUMBUS, Ohio — 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 Blue Jackets earned their first win against Philadelphia in three matchups this season.

Bobby Brink and Owen Tippett scored for Philadelphia, while Ivan Fedotov stopped 27 shots. The Flyers saw their two-game win streak snapped.\The Flyers showed resilience despite playing the second half of a back-to-back. They maintained their physicality and led twice but couldn’t finish. The Blue Jackets struggled with consistency early in the game but found its footing late. A determined third period, strong overtime, and a near-flawless shootout sealed the victory. After a scoreless overtime, Johnson and Marchenko scored in the shootout for Columbus, while Tarasov denied both Flyers attempts.\Werenski’s two goals brought his season total to 15.
