In a game that had many Columbus Blue Jackets fans going through a rollercoaster of emotions, the Jackets are able to close the door once again in another close game against their former Western Conference, Central Division rivals.
The Jackets started this game on fire as they jumped to a 3-0 lead after the 1st period. Goals belonging to Pierre-Luc Dubois, Josh Anderson, and Artemi Panarin gave the CBJ the lead. Panarin scored a goal to end his goalless draught, and found the back of the net for the first time in November.
