Marc DesRosiers-USA TODAY Sports
This was how a wild week in the NHL had to end.
The Columbus Blue Jackets and Ottawa Senators gave hockey fans another thrilling goal-filled game, the teams combining for 12 goals through 60 minutes, setting up Cam Atkinson's heroics.
2 goals for Atkinson tonight give him 23 on the season, alone in 3rd place in the NHL behind only Sidney Crosby and Jeff Carter. #CBJ

The Sens blew a 5-3 lead in the third period, needing a tying goal from Kyle Turris with under eight minutes to play to force 3-on-3 play.
Mike Condon, seemingly not allowed to take a night off, stopped only 22 of 29 shots. He's played in every Ottawa game since Dec. 1, for 22 in a row.
