The Canes lost a 3rd period lead in Columbus and ended up losing in a shootout for the second time this year. This time the score was 4-3 and the Hurricanes actually had a lead in the shootout through an Andrei Svechnikov goal. But, Pyotr Kochetkov couldn't stop Kent Johnson and Adam Fantilli and when Sebastian Aho failed to extend to a 5th round the Jackets had their second shootout win over Carolina this year. Ty Smith scored his first goal with the Hurricanes -- on the power play -- in the 1st period. Jack Roslovic and Jesperi Kotkaniemi scored 2:31 apart in the second period to put the Canes in front. Aho finished with two assists and now has 40 points in 37 games.
