The Columbus Blue Jackets had their best start of the season. The Jackets scored the first three goals of the game with David Savard and Boone Jenner opening the scoring.
In the second period Tyler Motte increased the Jackets lead to 3-0. The Blue Jackets were the faster and more aggressive team to start, but the Bruins fought back.
