For the second straight game, more than 65 minutes were required, but unfortunately for the Carolina Hurricanes, the outcome was not repeated as they dropped a 3-2 shootout decision to the division rival Columbus Blue Jackets.
The Blue Jackets, who were playing their second game in as many nights, opened the scoring on just their second shot of the game as Josh Anderson found the back of the net 1:10 into the first period after Jaccob Slavin was unable to break up a pass across the crease from Pierre-Luc Dubois.
