Miles Wood scored the only goal for Columbus on the power play in a 2-1 CBJ loss to the Sabres on Tuesday night.
Despite some really good play by both Jackets goalies, the offense just couldn't get going against Buffalo. In Columbus's defense, they only had three NHLers playing on offense, and one on defense, so this game could have been a lot worse.
The Buffalo Sabres had guys like Tage Thompson, Jason Zucker, Josh Norris, and Rasmus Dahlin in this game, so it could've been much, much worse. Thompson and Zucker both scored in this game, for what it's worth.
The Blue Jackets now have four games left in the preseason, and the next game will come today against the Pittsburgh Penguins at Nationwide Arena.
