When Columbus and Buffalo last met, on Saturday, the Blue Jackets built a 3-0 lead before surrendering 4 unanswered to lose. This time, a 3-1 lead early in the second period was erased by intermission, but two goals in the third period clinched the victory.
On the home side, the lines looked like this:
Gaudreau – Laine – Marchenko
Texier – Jenner – Bemstrom
Johnson – Fantilli – Danforth
Robinson – Kuraly – Sillinger
Werenski – Peeke
Provorov – Severson
Bean – Gudbranson
It’s looking closer to a regular season lineup. Jake Bean made his preseason debut after a slow recovery from injury.
