COLUMBUS, Ohio - Not so long ago, the Columbus Blue Jackets were looking for ways to lose.Now they are doing the opposite.Kevin Connauton scored his first goal of the season off a lead pass from Ryan Johansen at 1:58 of overtime to help the Blue Jackets overcome a late goal and get past the Philadelphia Flyers 3-2 on Tuesday night for their fourth straight win.When you arent winning games, thats kind of the mentality, coach Todd Richards said of his clubs recent defeatist attitude due to a long list of injuries.

Mason stopped 21 shots.With the Flyers trailing 2-1, former Columbus forward Jakub Voraceks shot from the point deflected off Schenn in the crease and trickled through Bobrovskys pads. The on-ice call of no goal was overturned.The third period we pushed and played a lot better, said coach Craig Berube, whose club played the last of a five-game, 11-day trip, and had lost 10 of 11 before beating Los Angeles on Saturday.Mason, who is 2-3 against Columbus since being traded in April 2013, said the Flyers deserved the point.But you put yourself in a position to get the second one and you cant come up with it, he said. In overtime, we made a mistake and its in the back of the net.Columbus, plagued by injuries all season, welcomed back centre Brandon Dubinsky. An integral leader, he played his first game of the season after abdominal surgery.Its all about the team right now, he said, after picking up an assist on Jenners goal. We needed the points.The Blue Jackets took a 2-1 lead with their second power-play goal in two chances.Defenceman Jack Johnson shot wide, but then centred the rebound off the back boards. Nick Foligno got a stick on it and the puck ended up between Hartnells skates.
