Blue Jackets 3, Devils 2 (OT): Defenseman Jack Johnson scored on a backhand shot from the slot 56 seconds into overtime as Columbus began its three-game homestand with its seventh consecutive overall victory.

Nick Foligno recorded a power-play goal and Brandon Dubinsky scored on a penalty shot for the Blue Jackets, who have won 10 of their last 11 contests. Ryan Johansen notched a pair of assists and Sergei Bobrovsky made 24 saves as Columbus earned a split of the four-game season series despite being officially eliminated from postseason contention by Boston's triumph over Florida on Tuesday.

Mike Cammalleri registered his fifth two-goal performance of the campaign for the Devils, who suffered their sixth straight loss (0-4-2). Cory Schneider turned aside 28 shots for New Jersey, which has scored fewer than three goals in each game during its slide.

The Devils cashed in on a power-play opportunity late in the first period to take the lead, as Cammalleri one-timed defenseman Eric Gelinas' feed past Bobrovsky from the right faceoff circle with 56 seconds remaining. Columbus answered 1:49 into the second session, when Foligno redirected Alexander Wennberg's shot from the right circle while on the doorstep with two seconds remaining on Patrik Elias' tripping penalty.

Dubinsky was awarded a penalty shot at 4:44 after being slashed by Stefan Matteau on a breakaway and converted, beating Schneider to the glove side with a wrist shot for a 2-1 edge. Bobrovsky denied Dainius Zubrus' initial shot and rebound chance on a short-handed breakaway, but Cammalleri whacked a loose puck past the goaltender while falling away from the net with 2:29 left in the third to forge a tie.
