For the second time in as many games, the Columbus Blue Jackets earned a preseason win in extra time. Instead of a shootout goal, however, Brandon Dubinsky ended this one during 3 on 3. In the comments recently we’ve talked about zone exits, and this goal was a perfect example of a good one. Rookie Zach Werensky cleanly passed the puck out of the defensive zone to Cam Atkinson, who then dished it to a streaking Dubinsky. Note that even if the goalie had deflected it, Atkinson and Werenski were both in great position to collect a rebound.
The other goals were scored by Monsters captain Ryan Craig and Paul Bittner.
