NHL Highlights | Blue Jackets vs. Panthers – December 6, 2025

and Noah Gregor and Jack Divine up front with Lost Arena back in the lineup. The opening faceoff sponsored by Rooms to Go. And here we go. Panthers looking for two points here today. Here’s Prover and right with him. Johnson and now Cinger shot from up high and they score. Proverb just as the power play was winding down. It’s a one- nothing Blue Jackets lead. Yeah, there only two seconds left and this is a point shot that eludes Sergey Babroski. The first goal here though set up. Look at Prova the top s topear pitcher right there. Oh, that’s deflected right out in front. You’ll see it again. You’ll see the puck just dip down right there. So Severson, the defenseman, gets the goal. You don’t see it all that often. A defenseman right there. That name I still after five, six years still can’t pronounce it and won’t even try anymore. I think it’s more like six, seven years. Seventh year. Oh, look out. It’s Rodriguez. Waits it out and snaps it home. Kevin Rodriguez has tied the game. A costly turnover by the Columbus Blue Jackets. Rodriguez was the last man back in the offensive zone and his eyes were as big as Saucers. Watch the puck come free right there and he just waits out Ms. Leakens. Cunning stays in the action and then throws a big hit. Blue Jackets keep it in the zone though. Linsky out in front. They score it deflected in. That’s a tough call. I go no goal on it. Like you said, is it premeditated? Clearly it was. I mean the foot was moving towards the net. Upon further review, it was determined that there was a kicking motion. We have no goal on the play. Ah, there you go. Yeah. Rondell’s line against Vantill’s line. The matchup continues. Left you speechless. I love it. That was an interesting one. Oh, and they score. Prover took the shot and the Blue Jackets reclaim the lead. Deflected out in front. Yeah, this another changes direction. We get a look at it here. They win the draw. There’s the one-time and I’m not sure if Wood has his stick and there’s Ecklad tying him up. But there have no doubt [Music] Roveroff just a Bronov I’m sorry as the deflection out in front the way it’s gone here for the Panthers you know long stretches of doing a lot of right things playing well opposition able to cash in on some opportunities and look out Coyle moves in it’s a twoon one and it’s Wood and he scores 3-1 Blue Jackets Well, and the Panthers had gone a long stretch here. Mistake three. But here’s the Panthers. Sango carries the puck in and he goes for the backhand pass that’s off the mark. And then quickly Columbus back the other way. Finished off there by Wood. Coyle puts it right there, right on the table for him. And there it just squeaks right between the legs of Sergey Babroski. Hands it over to Winsky. No NHL defenseman plays more minutes per game than Zach Morinsky. Fanti breaks in. Drop pass between the legs. Marenko scores. And the Blue Jackets with three goals here in the period have a three-goal lead as the battle in the neutral zone. Panthers can’t get a hold of it. goes off a loyster in and now watch the back pass and then over to over there as they draw the two defenders as Forsling committed and look at that back hand just underneath the bar. Marenko. Well, the top line for Columbus. Couple of goals in the period. Up the momentum out shooting Columbus, but couldn’t tackle. Here comes Marian looking for a step. Marian moves in. Leakage the save. The rebound wouldn’t go. Here’s Maran again. Chef Jones and the wrist. Score. Deflected in. The Cats get one back for Higg. He was out at the net. Give him a Dr. Pepper and a pork chop fence extends his point streak to five games. Look at how it develops. First shot by Marian is denied. Get it back to the point to Jones. And there’s a perfect deflection over the glove hand as Carter Verhagy battles to get position. He gets inside of court. Upon further review, it was determined that this was a deflection, not a hand pass. We have a good goal on the ice. Rebound just got away from Bhagi. Bennett with a steel gives Javar again cross ice feed and they score again. They’re within one. He’s got a huge pair. Carter Verhy here in this second period. Effort to regain control of puck. And watch this pass right through the seam. A bouncing puck. And somehow Carter Verhy the hottest Panther is able to get a stick on it and get to the line. Jones got to it. Reinhardt Bennett back for Reinhardt again. Here’s Jones shooting. Score the comeback catch. Three in a row and we’re even. [Music] Just like we were talking about with Seth Jones putting himself in that shooting position away from the goalender. They anticipate well. Look at Marian out in front. And here comes the shot. Beautifully paced placed there by Seth Jones, the former Columbus Blue Jacket. I don’t think Marian touched that. Now Bennett off his skate. Matt Chuck clears the zone. Forsling lost it at the blue line. Cylinger try to break in. Cylinger fires and they score. And Columbus is back on top. 54. I was just about to say before that goal was scored, if the Panthers were able to clear it all the way up the ice. Look at the puck bounce. It bounces. It bounced again and then onto the stick and a deflection. And there’s the shot. And it goes off of Forsling in behind Sergey Babroski. But before that, when the puck was in the neutral zone, both teams could not stick a fork in. [Applause] Look out. It’s a two-on-one. Londrom for Wood for Londrom. And they score. And now the Blue Jackets are up a pair. Oh, what a pretty passing play. And it was a key pass that caught the Panthers flatfooted. Just moments later, there was the pass that caught the Panthers. It turned into a twoon-one in the a give and go. Waits, centers. Oh, big save there by Babarovski. Little twoon-one develops again. And the Panthers are coming the other way. Threeon two. Marian breaks in. Marian to the net and he scores a beauty. The Cats answer back as he does so often. Brad Marshian only five games this year where he has been held pointless. What an individual effort. Look at how he picks up that puck, goes to the front of the net and just finishes it off on his second attempt. Bennett just puts it on a plate and it’s up to Marian as he gets around the defenseman. Here’s a good look at it right here. Fans on the first attempt and then stuffs it in. Now look to push offensively. They did not allow a shot on goal on that Blue Jacket power play. Another stretch pass just out of the reach of Los Dena. Finds Londell. Score. He goes tied it at six. Race for the puck here. Watch it gets there. Mleakin puts him, pushes the puck, but now he’s out of position. Followed up perfectly by Lundelle. You’ll see Lundell come into the picture here and Columbus guilty of not picking him up. They were standing around. Bennett caught something up in the face as he goes to the bench. Final seconds. Boquist won’t get a chance. Well, the Panthers have come from behind all day long. Londell, Reinhardt, and Jones. The three for the Panthers. Zack Winsky will start with the possession. You know how dangerous he is. Londell back on. Reinhardt set to get out of the box. Monahan across. Marenko shooting and Babroski is there. They lose possession. Bennett knocks it free. Less than 10. It’s Maran. Final seconds. Maran to Bennett. Baby Samic 76 win. Incredible [Applause] the position. Look at the delay. A little flip saucer pass right onto the stick of Bennett. He goes blocker side. [Music]

Carter Verhaeghe had two goals on the night, Sam Bennett had four points, including the overtime winner, and the Florida Panthers topped the Columbus Blue Jackets 7-6.
