Roman Josi's two goals turned out to be bigger than Emil Bemstrom's first career hat trick.
Josi scored his second goal of the game 3:24 into overtime to lead the visiting Nashville Predators past the Columbus Blue Jackets 4-3 on Monday.
The Predators appeared to be cruising to a much-needed win in their push toward the postseason. The visitors led 3-0 after 40 minutes before Emil Bemstrom took over the game, with his three third-period goals representing his first goals of the season.
Filip Forsberg and Ryan Johansen each had a goal and assist for the Predators (29-22-2, 60 points), and Ryan Ellis contributed two assists.
