Blue Jackets Win on Last-Minute Goal

Once again the Columbus Blue Jackets watched a goal slide into the net in the final minute. For a change, it was good news for them.

David Vyborny scored while falling to the ice with 47.7 seconds left as the Blue Jackets beat the St. Louis Blues, 3-2, Wednesday night at Columbus, Ohio.

The Blue Jackets have lost three games in the final 35 seconds and another in overtime when they had a lead with just more than a minute left in regulation.

“I think they’re tired of seeing it on TV, hearing it on the radio and reading it in the newspapers, so they did something about it,” Columbus Coach Dave King said.
