The Blue Jackets found a new way to absorb a gut punch from the Florida Panthers on Dec. 6 at Amerant Bank Arena in Sunrise, Fla.Rather than getting blown out or shut out, as usually happens in South Florida, they scored six goals against former Blue Jackets goalie Sergei Bobrovsky and lost 7-6 on Sam Bennett’s goal with 3.2 seconds left in overtime, after failing to protect three separate leads to open a back-to-back set that concludes Dec. 7 at the Washington Capitals.Despite leading 1-0 in the first period, 4-1 in the second and 6-4 in the third, the Blue Jackets (13-9-6) couldn’t make a single one of them stand up against a two-time defending Stanley Cup championship team missing six injured players.Cole Sillinger scored late in the second period to break a 4-4 tie and Isac Lundestrom gave Columbus a 6-4 lead early in the third, but the Panthers tied it 6-6 on goals by Brad Marchand and Anton Lundell to force the Blue Jackets’ 10th overtime in their past 14 games.After failing to score on a 4-on-3 power play in OT, the Jackets lost on Bennett’s goal to cap a 2-on-1 rush after the Blue Jackets turned it over in the neutral zone.Kirill Marchenko, Dmitri Voronkov, Damon Severson and Miles Wood scored the other four Columbus goals and goalie Elvis Merzlikins allowed all seven Florida goals on 40 shots. Bobrovsky allowed six goals on 31 shots for the Panthers (13-12-2), who ended a four-game winless streak.Blue Jackets reporter Brian Hedger can be reached at bhedger@dispatch.com and @BrianHedger.bsky.social This article originally appeared on The Columbus Dispatch: Blue Jackets lose three more leads in gutting OT loss to Panthers
