Pierre-Luc Dubois scored 52 seconds into overtime as the Columbus Blue Jackets rallied past the host Boston Bruins 2-1 Thursday night.

Sonny Milano tied the game early in the third period, and Elvis Merzlikins made 26 saves as the Blue Jackets won for the seventh time in their last nine games. Columbus extended its points streak to 12 games (8-0-4).

David Pastrnak became the first player in the league to reach 30 goals on the season for the Bruins, who extended their points streak to nine (4-0-5). Tuukka Rask, making his 500th NHL start, stopped 31 shots.

Dubois completed a 2-on-1 up ice early in the extra period with a one-timer off a feed from Seth Jones to complete Columbus' rally from a 1-0 deficit entering the third.

The Blue Jackets started the period with 1:15 left on a power play that the Bruins killed. Columbus was able to maintain possession in the attacking zone after, knotting the score when Milano, playing his first game since Dec. 14 due to an upper-body injury, knocked the puck in off the skate of Matt Grzelcyk at 2:06.

Pastrnak rung the post midway through the third, but neither team would find the net again until overtime.

Just 17 seconds into the contest it appeared the Blue Jackets scored after Gustav Nyquist was initially awarded a goal off a Sean Kuraly turnover. However, Boston challenged the call, and the officials overturned the goal after determining Boone Jenner interfered with Rask in the crease on the shot.

From that point, the game went scoreless until Pastrnak struck five seconds into a power play at 11:07 of the second period. Patrice Bergeron won the faceoff and dished back to Torey Krug, who passed to Pastrnak for a one-timer through traffic and over the glove of Merzlikins.

Pastrnak reached 30 goals in 42 games, the fastest by a Bruin since Cam Neely in 1993-94 (27 games). Pastrnak extended his points streak to nine games (four goals, 10 assists).
