The Columbus Blue Jackets faced the Edmonton Oilers for the second and final time in the season. The Oilers, who had a strong record since November, added Adam Henrique and Sam Carrick to their lineup. Henrique made his Oilers debut on Leon Draisaitl's wing, while Carrick started as the fourth-line center. Despite the Oilers' new additions, the Blue Jackets dominated the game, leading 3-0 after the first period and eventually winning 4-2. This victory marked the Blue Jackets' third win in four games.
