The Blue Jackets have grown accustomed to scoring and winning at home this season, as their 161 goals on home ice is the most in the league as well as a franchise record. They also tied their team record for most points (57) in home games in a season.

Cole Sillinger and Zach Werenski each had a goal and an assist and the Columbus Blue Jackets routed the New York Islanders 6–1 on Thursday night in the final game of the season for both teams. A season that began with heartache over the death of Johnny Gaudreau left the Blue Jackets in the most unlikely of positions.
