In a dramatic NHL game, Cole Sillinger of the Columbus Blue Jackets (#CBJ) showcased his skills with a hat trick, scoring his 5th, 6th, and 7th goals of the season, with the 6th goal coming just 17 seconds into the second period, assisted by Marchenko. Despite a strong start with two penalty kills and Sillinger's early goal, assisted by Bean and Boqvist, the Blue Jackets faced a tough loss. The Minnesota Wild tied the game in the third period, leading to overtime where Marco Rossi scored the winning goal with 1:55 left, resulting in a 4-3 victory for the Wild. Marc-Andre Fleury of the Wild made a significant save to stop an empty-netter, and the Wild's subsequent goal tied the game. Fleury's performance helped him tie Patrick Roy for the second-most wins in NHL history at 551. The Blue Jackets, who have now played their fifth OT game in the last seven, are set to face the Winnipeg Jets next. The shots through regulation were 35-25 in favor of Minnesota.
