BUFFALO, N.Y. — \u2014 Miles Wood<\/a> scored twice, with his second goal coming 2:53 into overtime, to rally the Columbus Blue Jackets<\/a> to a 4-3 win over the Buffalo Sabres<\/a> on Tuesday night.<\/p>\n

Zach Werenski<\/a> and Yegor Chinakhov<\/a> had a goal and assist each, and the Blue Jackets won their fourth straight road game. Jet Greaves<\/a> made 35 saves, including kicking out his right pad to stop Jiri Kulich<\/a> on a breakaway 40 seconds into overtime.<\/p>\n

Wood forced overtime by tipping in Chinakhov\u2019s shot with 6:05 remaining, and his two-goal outing came in his return after missing five games with what initially appeared to be a frightening injury to his left eye. He was hurt while chasing after a loose puck when Devils defenseman Dougie Hamilton\u2019s stick rode up beneath Wood\u2019s shield and struck him in the eye. <\/p>\n

Josh Doan<\/a>, Ryan McLeod<\/a> and Josh Dunne<\/a>, with his first NHL career goal, scored for Buffalo, which is 4-1-2 in its past seven following an 0-3 start. Alex Lyon<\/a> finished with 35 saves.<\/p>\n

Isac Lundestrom<\/a> set up the decisive goal by reversing up the boards in the Buffalo zone and sending a cross-ice pass to a wide-open Werenski in the left circle. Werenski then threaded a pass to Wood, who redirected the puck over Lyon.<\/p>\n

Columbus won by overcoming two one-goal deficits. The Blue Jackets four-game road winning streak is their longest since a five-game run spanning Jan. 20-Feb. 12, 2022.<\/p>\n
