Mikael Pyyhtia made his NHL debut memorable by scoring his first goal, contributing to the Columbus Blue Jackets' emphatic 6-1 victory over the Edmonton Oilers. This win marked their second consecutive home triumph.

Sean Monahan led the charge with two goals, while Cole Sillinger, Adam Fantilli, and Mathieu Olivier also found the net. Despite a strong performance from Elvis Merzlikins, who faced 31 shots, the Oilers struggled, particularly after losing Connor McDavid to injury early in the game.
