COLUMBUS, Ohio, March 30 (UPI) -- Rick Nash scored two goals -- including a decisive third-period tally -- as the Columbus Blue Jackets pushed past Tampa Bay 3-2 Tuesday.

The Blue Jackets came into the final stanza down 2-1, but Fedor Tyutin scored at 6:21 to even the game and, just over a minute later, Nash connected for a power-play goal off a backhand pass from R.J. Umberger to give Columbus the lead.

Kristian Huselius notched a pair of assists and Steve Mason turned aside 16 shots as the Blue Jackets won their third in four games.

Vincent Lecavalier and Mike Lundin lit the lamp for the Lightning, losers of seven in nine games.
