SAN JOSE, Calif. (AP) — Boone Jenner scored with 12.9 seconds left and the Blue Jackets beat the San Jose Sharks 4-3.
With time running down in the third period, Jenner took a pass at center ice and broke in on net, shielding off Sharks defenseman Jan Ruuta and beating goaltender Kappo Kahkonen for the winning goal.
The game featured a pair of last-place teams — the Sharks in the Pacific Division and the Blue Jackets in the Metropolitan Division.
Columbus had lost four of five, while the Sharks were 5-2-1 in their previous eight games.
