Severson Snaps Tie, Jackets Edge Preds 3-2

Columbus clings to every point in the playoff push, and Severson delivers the dagger Nashville never saw coming late in the third. The Preds, skating on fumes after a brutal road stretch, thought they had this one locked until the Blue Jackets' blue-liner reminded everyone why he's still a top-four stud. With both teams jockeying for position in a muddled Central Division, this result shakes up the wildcard race in ways GMs are already dissecting.
