Last night, the Columbus Blue Jackets traveled north to take on the Buffalo Sabres in search of their fourth straight victory. Buffalo had struggled to open the season, winning only five games total before last night’s tilt. Among their losses was a 5-1 defeat in Nationwide Arena. That game was notable because, eleven long games ago, it was the last time Nick Foligno recorded a point for the team. Foligno was among the players singled out by Coach Tortorella as needing to improve his play.
Another on that list is David Savard, who returned to the lineup after being a healthy scratch on Friday night.
