The wins moved Calgary out of last place in the Western Conference and within six points of a playoff spot.

Columbus defenceman Zach Werenski had three goals and five assists over four games to claim second-star honours.

San Jose forward Macklin Celebrini had four goals, including a hat trick and two game-winners, and three assists in four games and was named third star.
