Sillinger scored a shorthanded goal in Tuesday's 4-3 loss to the Panthers
The 21-year-old opened the scoring just 41 seconds into the second period, taking a long pass from Kent Johnson and then going top shelf on Sergei Bobrovsky. Sillinger has a goal and two points in three games to begin the season, and with the Blue Jackets having to lean heavily on their young core, he could reach the 20-goal and 40-point plateaus for the first time in 2024-25.
