COLUMBUS, Ohio – The crowd was roaring on every play, each side kept piling up scoring chances and goaltenders Corey Crawford and Sergei Bobrovsky were trading breath-taking stops.

After a wildly entertaining overtime, though, the Chicago Blackhawks got back to their winning ways.

Patrick Kane set up Johnny Oduya’s goal late in the second period and then got the decisive score in the shootout, leading the Blackhawks to a 2-1 victory over the Columbus Blue Jackets on Thursday.

“It was pretty intense,” Kane said of the end-to-end extra minutes. “There were 13 shots total for both teams. It was a pretty interesting overtime, obviously. The goalies made some great saves and it was definitely back and forth.”

Crawford stopped 29 shots to help the Blackhawks end a two-game losing streak after they set an NHL record by getting at least a point in each of their first 24 games.
