Dmitri Voronkov’s OT goal boosts Jackets over Mammoth

Dmitri Voronkov scored a power-play goal at 1:01 of overtime to lift the visiting Columbus Blue Jackets to a 3-2 win against the Utah Mammoth on Sunday.

Zach Werenski sent a pass to Voronkov, who was driving to the net and redirected it stick side on goalie Vitek Vanecek.

Mikael Pyyhtia and Charlie Coyle scored and Kirill Marchenko had two assists for the Blue Jackets, who snapped a four-game losing streak (0-3-1). Jet Greaves made 25 saves.

Jack McBain and Mikhail Sergachev scored and Vanecek made 33 saves for the Mammoth, whose three-game winning streak ended. Clayton Keller had two assists.

Columbus came out with lots of jump and capitalized early to open the scoring.

Ivan Provorov sent the puck out of his zone to Danton Heinen in the neutral zone, and Heinen sent a feed to Pyyhtia coming up the middle. The Finn worked his way into the offensive zone and skated through McBain and defenseman Ian Cole to the left circle before firing a rising wrist shot that beat Vanecek under the bar for a 1-0 lead at 2:47.

The Blue Jackets built up a 7-0 shot advantage before the hosts notched their first at 11:43 with two seconds remaining on a power play.

The Mammoth finally broke through late in the frame. With McBain in front, Keller wired a shot from high in the zone that deflected off McBain's back and floated over Greaves' right arm to tie it 1-1 at 16:20.

Sergachev put Utah ahead 2-1 at 1:02 of the second period. Keller retrieved a Nick Schmaltz dump-in and held on to it by the right wall before feeding Sergachev at the left point, and the defenseman snapped it past a screened Greaves.

Coyle pulled the Blue Jackets even on the power play at 18:31 of the second. He batted at his own rebound down low, with the puck landing at the crease. Adam Fantilli got his stick on it to push through Vanecek's pads, and Coyle pushed it over the goal line.
