In a series of closely contested NHL games, the Columbus Blue Jackets and Minnesota Wild engaged in a high-stakes encounter. The Blue Jackets' Johnson scored his 6th goal of the season with assists from Provorov and Voronkov, tying the game at one. Cole Sillinger of the Blue Jackets showcased an impressive performance with a hat trick, his second career, including his 5th and 6th goals of the season with assists from Bean and Boqvist. Despite Sillinger's efforts, the Wild managed to tie the game at 3-3, thanks to Matt Boldy's two power play goals, with one assisted by Joel Eriksson Ek, and a goal by Marcus Johansson with 1:32 remaining in regulation. The game went into overtime where Marco Rossi scored the winning goal for the Wild, resulting in a 4-3 victory. This win was particularly significant for Wild's goaltender Marc-Andre Fleury, who tied Patrick Roy for the second-most wins in NHL history, marking his 551st win. Fleury's milestone was celebrated as an honor, especially since it was achieved in front of his junior coach, Pascal Vincent. The Wild's victory also snapped their losing streak, which had seen them lose four consecutive games in regulation.

HISTORY FOR FLOWER 🌸 Marc-Andre Fleury has tied Patrick Roy for 2nd most wins in NHL history with 551. https://t.co/ogFvNky1zK
#mnwild win 4-3 in overtime. Marco Rossi with the goal, but the celebration is around Marc-Andre Fleury. Fleury has tied Patrick Roy for the second-most wins in NHL history at 551.
Rossi one-timer ... #mnwild wins in OT. Short side goal. Brutal loss for the #CBJ again.
#CBJ and #mnwild are headed to overtime, tied at 3.
We're going to OT but the #mnwild nearly ended this one with 2.3 seconds left ... forcing one last save by Tarasov. #CBJ into OT again after blowing a late lead in the third.
#mnwild Fleury tries to get off for an extra skater, hustles back when possession changes, dives to block a Danforth shot. Then, seconds later, #mnwild score the equalizers, helped by a Provorov turnover. Johanssen scores with 1:32 remaining. 3-3
Sillinger notches his 2nd career hat trick (Mar. 13, 2022 vs. VGK) scoring his 3rd goal of the night on the power play with 5:45 left in the third period to give #CBJ a 3-2 lead. Assist to Boqvist.

Huge play by Marco Rossi to keep it tied. Justin Danforth steals a puck from Fleury behind the net -- seen that before -- and gets it to Adam Fantilli, but Rossi is in the crease to make the stop on Mo's shot. #CBJ
Another chance for the #mnwild power play early in the third period.
#CBJ 2, Wild 2 after two periods. Deuces wild, so to speak. Minnesota with a 23-17 edge in shots on goal, but CBJ up 46-36 in shot attempts. 22 blocked shots by Minnesota loom huge.

Fleury will have a chance to tie Patrick Roy for second all-time in regular-season victories tonight in front of his junior coach, Pascal Vincent. The #cbj head coach told some awesome stories today about a 15yo+ Marc-Andre Fleury
The #mnwild avoided a shutout to Tampa Bay with Zach Bogosian's first goal of the season in the third period, but the injuries — and losses — are piling up. @sarah__mclellan on Thursday's 4-1 defeat: https://t.co/llOkKDKFbn
#mnwild fall 4-1 to #tblightning. This is first time this season they've lost four in a row in regulation. Last time they lost four in a row overall was the final four games of Dean Evason's tenure
Zach Bogosian snaps the shutout with a wrist shot. #mnwild down 3-1 with 4:25 to go
#mnwild down 3-0. Victor Hedman with a power play goal.
#mnwild clearly missing some firepower tonight. Could use one of those momentum-swinging moments from Matt Boldy, who has zero shots on goal so far. Rossi and Johansson each have zero as well
Another one from Darren Raddysh. Two goals in 2:29 as he scores a really nice goal on a wraparound and makes it 2-0 #Bolts with 13 minutes left in the second. You can really see the confidence in his game right now.
Raddysh's two goals are his first of the season. 2-0 Lightning. #MNWild.
Raddysh x 2️⃣ He scores his second goal of the game, his second goal of the season … thrilled for him 2-0 Tampa Bay Lightning
Raddysh again, wrap-around goal. It's 2-0 #Lightning #mnwild
DARREN Raddysh with his first and second goals of the season. This time a wraparound. 2-0 Lightning
What a play by Darren Raddysh for his first goal of the season. Makes a nice pinch up the boards to keep the puck in, goes to the net, redirects a shot from the point then buries his own rebound in front. 1-0 #Bolts with 15:29 left in the second.
#mnwild are 3-14-1 when opponent scores first this season
Raddysh scores his first goal of the season and the first goal of the game 1-0 Tampa Bay Lightning
GOAL JACKETS! Severson did a thing and it was good. 2-1, #CBJ down

#mnwild and #tblightning 0-0 after first period.
#mnwild fall 3-1 to Flames. It's the first time since Nov. 9-12 that they've lost three straight in regulation. Fleury with 31 saves. Pat Maroon with the only goal for Minnesota. They host #tblightning Thursday.
