The Blue Jackets took the lead in the second period with a Kent Johnson power play goal, his fourth of the season, powered by Johnny Gaudreau and Marcus Bjork. The Panthers tied it again with an Aaron Ekblad goal, his second of the year, via Forsling and Nick Cousins. Columbus took the lead with a Sean Kuraly shorthanded goal in the third period, his sixth of the season, set up by Eric Robinson and Andrew Peeke. The Blue Jackets added on with a Gaudreau goal, his seventh of the year, passed from Gutsav Nyquist. Columbus extended the lead as Boone Jenner scored his eighth of the season on the power play, with the help of Gaudreau and Emil Bemstrom.
