From the beginning, this game was controlled by the Columbus Blue Jackets. An early disallowed goal gave the game a crazy start, but the Jackets settled down and eventually took the game over.
Oliver Bjorkstrand scored a power play goal (yes, you read that correctly) twelve minutes into the first period. His second goal of the season was well-timed, considering the recent power play woes.
The Jackets didn’t score for another period plus, but when they did, they didn’t look back. Seth Jones fired a wrist shot to put the Jackets up 2-0 in the second period.
