BUFFALO, N.Y. (AP) — Miles Wood scored twice, with his second goal coming 2:53 into overtime, to rally the Columbus Blue Jackets to a 4-3 win over the Buffalo Sabres on Tuesday night.

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

Wood forced overtime by tipping in Chinakhov’s 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’s stick rode up beneath Wood’s shield and struck him in the eye.
