Game 52 Recap: Pitiful 1st Period dooms Columbus in 6-4 loss

Columbus kicked off their 4-game, 75% California road trip with a game in Ottawa against the Senators. Some horrid special teams play, especially in the first period, would create a hole too big to climb out of.

First Period

The Johnson-Voronkov-Marchenko line started off hot, with a great opening shift followed by Kent Johnson and Dmitri Voronkov linking up to put the CBJ on the board, with a bit of help from Jacob Bernard-Docker.
