Kevin Lankinen made 25 saves on the night, including five big stops in overtime and another three stops in the shootout.

GAME RECAP

CHI: 1, CBJ: 0

1st - 8:11 - Carl Soderberg (Patrick Kane, Alex DeBrincat) - PPG

Carl Soderberg notched his second straight power-play tally dating back to the dying minutes of Friday's game in Carolina. The centerman, playing a net-front role on the man advantage, had a Patrick Kane shot hit him in front, but the veteran was able to clean up the chance by swatting the loose puck past Joonas Korpisalo for a 1-0 lead.

CHI: 2, CBJ: 0

1st - 10:03 - Patrick Kane (Pius Suter, Mattias Janmark)

Patrick Kane, who had his shot attempt blocked on the opening tally, made good for it less than two minutes later. Mattias Janmark broke up a Max Domi breakout pass at the Jackets' blue line, with the puck redirecting right to Pius Suter still inside the offensive zone. Alone 2-on-0 with Kane, Suter slide a pass across the crease off the abbreviated rush for No. 88's ninth of the season.

CHI: 2, CBJ: 1

1st - 12:34 - Cam Atkinson (Boone Jenner)

Columbus cut the lead in half shortly thereafter as Boone Jenner sprung Cam Atkinson on a breakaway with a chip from the neutral zone. The winger beat Kevin Lankinen in all alone for his eighth of the season, making it a 2-1 game.

CHI: 2, CBJ: 2

2nd - 0:48 - Patrik Laine (Seth Jones, Jack Roslovic) - PPG

The Blue Jackets needed just 48 seconds in the middle frame to tie things up as Patrik Laine converted a Seth Jones one-time feed off a faceoff just six seconds into Columbus' opening power play of the night.

CHI: 3, CBJ: 2

2nd - 8:12 - Brandon Hagel (Patrick Kane, Carl Soderberg)

Rookie Brandon Hagel finally found twine in his 17th game of the season after numerous close encounters in recent weeks. Hagel worked to keep a puck in the offensive zone along the far boards, sent it to Carl Soderberg in the corner, who found Kane in front for a look. Kane's shot deflected over the goal, but he chased his own chance down and found Hagel out front for the score, 3-2.

CHI: 3, CBJ: 3

2nd - 9:24 - Patrik Laine (Cam Atkinson, Seth Jones) - PPG

Laine tied things up for the second time in the frame from nearly an identical spot on the power play, though not in one-time fashion. Taking a cross-ice feed from Cam Atkinson, the winger opted for a wrister to beat Kevin Lankinen to tie things up, 3-3.

CHI: 4, CBJ 3

2nd - 15:05 - Dominik Kubalik (Duncan Keith, Carl Soderberg)

Off a set faceoff play in the offensive end, Carl Soderberg won a draw back to Duncan Keith at the point, who paused, allowing Dominik Kubalik to work his way to the point, before teeing up the sophomore winger for a one-time blast. Kubalik's shot from distance was a blind look for Joonas Korpisalo in goal courtesy of a Mattias Janmark screen in the slot, finding twine for a 4-3 lead.

CHI: 5, CBJ: 3

3rd - 3:37 - Adam Boqvist (Patrick Kane, Dominik Kubalik) - PPG

On a 5-on-3 advantage, Adam Boqvist netted his first goal of the season on a one-timer near the bottom of the left circle. After working the puck around in the offensive zone, Dominik Kubalik fed Patrick Kane, who found a wide-open Boqvist for the booming one-timer and a 5-3 lead.

CHI: 5, CBJ: 4

3rd - 10:00 - Oliver Bjorkstrand (Jack Roslovic, Gabriel Carlsson)

Columbus found their third power-play goal on the night at the midpoint of the third period as Oliver Bjorkstrand put home a Jack Roslovic one-time feed from nearly the same spot as Patrik Laine's pair of man-advantage tallies in the second period for a 5-4 scoreline.

CHI: 5, CBJ: 5

3rd - 16:01 - Oliver Bjorkstrand (Patrik Laine)

The Blue Jackets tied things up for the third time on the night, 5-5, with just under four minutes to play in regulation as Oliver Bjorkstrand found his second of the game. Patrik Laine kept in a Kevin Lankinen clearing attempt along the boards and found Bjorkstrand in front, where the winger beat the Blackhawks' netminder on the glove side for the equalizer.
