The Columbus Blue Jackets have won their fourth straight game after shutting down a late rally from the Buffalo Sabres. The CBJ have now racked up eight points in four tries following the 3-2 win in Western New York.
The Jackets and Sabres slugged their way to a scoreless first period without many great opportunities. The period was dominated by neutral zone trapping and Jack Eichel face off violations. That theme would frustrate the young center and eventually land him in the penalty box for a two minute minor. The Jackets, unsurprisingly, were unable to capitalize on the man advantage.
