Cole Sillinger nets overtime winner in return from injury
by Bruno Mulé | Blue Jackets Correspondent | Fri, Jan 31st 10:06am EST
Cole Sillinger made an immediate impact in his return from a three-game absence, scoring the game-winning goal just 52 seconds into overtime in Thursday’s 2-1 victory over the Golden Knights. He also recorded two blocked shots while logging 15:54 of ice time.
Fantasy Impact:
Sillinger had been quiet offensively before his injury, registering just three points over 14 games, but his return to the top six could provide a much-needed boost. With Sean Monahan (wrist) sidelined until at least mid-March, Sillinger should continue seeing solid minutes. He now has eight goals (two game-winners), 24 points, 107 shots, 57 hits, and 27 blocked shots through 46 appearances, making him a potential depth option in deeper fantasy formats.
