Blue Jackets' Duchene bangs in 2OT winner to even series with Bruins

The Columbus Blue Jackets seemed to be just barely hanging on in Game 2 in Boston, appearing destined to fall down 0-2 in their second-round series versus the Bruins.

But Sergei Bobrovsky made a number of incredible stops late in regulation and into overtime before Patrice Bergeron made an unusual mistake deep in the offensive zone to launch the Blue Jackets into a power-play try three minutes into the second added frame.

And on that man advantage, Matt Duchene was able to kick an Artemi Panarin rebound onto his own stick and slide it through the legs of Tuukka Rask while the Bruins goaltender pushed to square up to the shooter, evening the series at a game apiece.

Answering their first loss of the postseason with a huge win in Boston, the Blue Jackets will return home having secured home-ice advantage for the remainder of the series.
