Brent Seabrook scored on a two-on-one break at 3 minutes, 23 seconds of overtime and the host Chicago Blackhawks (18-0-3) extended their NHL-record, season-opening point streak to 21 games with a 4-3 win over the Columbus Blue Jackets on Friday night.
Jonathan Toews carried the puck down left wing and dished a cross-ice pass to Seabrook, who fired in a shot from the right circle before goalie Steve Mason could slide across the crease.
Ray Emery made 19 saves for the win.
Chicago won its eighth straight overall and has earned 39 out of a possible 42 points this season.
Ryan Johansen scored with 7:37 left in regulation to tie it at 3 for Columbus, snapping his 37-game goal drought.
Vladmir Sobotka put host St. Louis ahead early in the third period and added an assist for the Blues, who rallied from two goals down and beat the Edmonton Oilers, 4-2.
David Backes added an insurance tally with 5:20 to go, and Jaroslav Halak was strong throughout in net for the Blues, who trailed 2-0 after the first period.
