On the back end of a home-and-home with the Buffalo Sabres, the Jackets were looking for the two game sweep after winning last night in Nationwide Arena.
With Sergei Bobrovsky and Robin Lehner facing off on Friday, last night’s goaltending matchup featured Joonas Korpisalo against Anders Nilsson.
The Jackets received some good news with Ryan Murray returning to the lineup, but the party would be short-lived, as Murray left the game after blocking a shot with his hand, playing just 1:44.
The Jackets would open the scoring.
