Summary
- Jack Roslovic, a Columbus native and former Blue Jacket, scored the game-winning goal in overtime

On November 11th, 2025, the Columbus Blue Jackets suffered a tough 5-4 overtime loss to the Edmonton Oilers. The game was a rollercoaster of emotions for the Blue Jackets, who had taken a 4-3 lead with just over 2 minutes remaining in regulation. However, a late collapse allowed the Oilers to tie the game and force overtime.
In the extra period, it was a former Blue Jacket who delivered the dagger. Columbus native Jack Roslovic, who had previously played for the Blue Jackets, scored the game-winning goal just 56 seconds into overtime to seal the victory for the Oilers. The Blue Jackets' struggles continued, as the loss marked their fourth straight defeat. They now face the risk of going winless on their 5-game road trip.
Despite the heartbreaking result, the Blue Jackets had shown signs of improvement, controlling large stretches of the game and getting goals from several players who had been in early-season slumps. However, the team's inability to hold onto the late lead proved to be their undoing, as the Oilers' star players, Connor McDavid and Leon Draisaitl, ultimately proved too much to handle.
