Fortunately, the Columbus Blue Jackets were ready for this exhibition game. Right out of the gate, the CBJ were aggressive and looking to score. Sergei Bobrovsky was on his game and many of the defensemen ahead of him were as well.
1st Period
In the first period, Matt Calvert (yes, MATT CALVERT) scored. With no disrespect to Calvert, but when he scores the opening goal, I think that’s a pretty good sign of a CBJ victory.
Oliver Bjorkstrand added another goal in the first to make it a 2-0 advantage going into the dressing room.
