Max Jones’ late breakaway goal put the Anaheim Ducks ahead for good in a wild 7–4 win over the visiting Columbus Blue Jackets on Friday.

Anaheim gave away the lead four times, resulting in a 4–4 tie nearing the end of regulation. At 17:23 of the third period, Jones intercepted an Andrew Peeke pass attempt and raced down the ice. He finished his individual effort with a backhand shot for the game-winner.
