Cam Atkinson made his return from a healthy scratch. Would it make a difference? SPOILER: no
First Period
A David Savard turnover in the defensive zone led to a wide open goal from Zack Kassian. The Blue Jackets started slow, but the final five minutes were solid. Best chances came from the PBJ line.
Second Period
Four goals by Edmonton. I have nothing else to say.
Third Period
Oliver Bjorkstrand and Jack Johnson added consolation goals before Jesse Puljujarvi put it away. For hilarity, McDavid scored with two minutes to go.
Final
Edmonton Oilers 7 Columbus Blue Jackets 2
