Sillinger, 21, played in 77 games with Columbus last season, tallying a career-high 32 points (13 goals, 19 assists).
The Blue Jackets selected Sillinger with the No. 12 overall pick of the 2021 NHL Draft. In 220 games, he has 74 points (32 goals, 42 assists).
"Cole Sillinger is a very smart, two-way center who competes extremely hard at both ends of the ice," Blue Jackets general manager Don Waddell said.

He is going to be an important part of the present and future of this club."
