They pull Bobrovsky with about 3 minutes left and after relentless pressure, Nick Cousins of all people pots a game tying goal.
Then in OT, Tkachuk does just enough to break up an odd-man Columbus rush, passes it up ice to Lundell, who shots and makes a rebound straight to Verhaeghe for the winner.
Helluva game tonight. Shouldn't have been this close, but it was fun all the same.

I thought it was pretty ugly after they got the 3-0 lead, just completely stopped playing and couldn't start up again. Bob had a stinker. A lot of passengers on the Panthers right now like Lundell and Luostarinen. And Tkachuk having a really rough start to the season. Mountour and Ekblad coming back in the next two-three weeks is going to be heaven sent.
