Barkov's OT Goal and Bobrovsky's Shutout Propel Panthers Over Blue Jackets

Florida secures a 1-0 overtime win, snapping a road losing streak and staying tied atop the Atlantic Division, while Columbus' offensive struggles continue with a fifth straight loss.

• Aleksander Barkov scored a power-play goal 29 seconds into overtime, marking his 19th goal of the season and sealing the Panthers' victory.
• Sergei Bobrovsky recorded his 49th career shutout and fifth of the season, stopping all 25 shots against his former team.
• The Florida Panthers completed a season sweep of the Blue Jackets, extending their winning streak against Columbus to eight games since December 2022.
• Columbus captain Boone Jenner had a third-period goal disallowed for a distinct kicking motion, and Kirill Marchenko's late penalty led to Florida's overtime opportunity.
• The Blue Jackets have now been shut out in four of their last seven games and are falling out of playoff contention with their fifth consecutive loss.
