COLUMBUS, Ohio — The Kings ran into the surging Columbus Blue Jackets on Saturday. And things didn’t end well after they rallied late.

Kirill Marchenko scored with 1:16 remaining in overtime to lift the Blue Jackets to a 3-2 victory at Nationwide Arena.

Zack Werenski and Dante Fabbro also scored, and Elvis Merzlikins stopped 31 shots as Columbus won its fifth straight home game and 17th overall on home ice.

The Blue Jackets’ success keeps them in a wild-card spot in the Eastern Conference and in fourth place in the Metropolitan Division standings.

Opening a five-game trip, the Kings rallied from a pair of one-goal deficits and tied the score late in the third period, but couldn’t close it out despite a 33-24 edge in shots on goal.

Phillip Danault and Quinton Byfield scored, Kevin Fiala had two assists and Darcy Kuemper made 21 saves for the Kings, who are in third place in the Pacific Division.

Werenski’s goal in the first period extended his home point streak to 19 games, tying John Van Boxmeer for the fifth-longest streak by a defenseman in NHL history. The record is held by Hall of Famer Bobby Orr, who recorded points in 25 consecutive home games during the 1974-75 season.

Danault tied it midway through the second period, but Fabbro put the Blue Jackets ahead once again just 2:51 into the third.

Byfield’s wrister tied the score with 1:05 left in regulation, forcing OT.

Werenski missed on an overtime penalty shot before Marchenko sealed the victory with a wrister in extra time.
