The Columbus Blue Jackets secured a thrilling 4-3 victory against the New York Islanders on Monday, ending their six-game winless streak. Adam Fantilli scored a pivotal goal, and Elvis Merzlikins made critical saves, including one in the shootout to clinch the win. The game was marked by drama, including a controversial goaltender interference call that denied Kyle Palmieri a potential game-winning goal for the Islanders. Regulation saw goals from Boone Jenner and Kirill Marchenko, the latter tying the game in the third period. With this victory, Columbus gained crucial points in their playoff chase, just two points behind the Montreal Canadiens for the second wild-card spot.
