Last season, the Buffalo Sabres and Columbus Blue Jackets met three times. The Sabres were outscored 9-7, but ended up winning one of the meetings. This season, can the Sabres, bolstered by new additions like Evander Kane, Ryan O’Reilly, Jack Eichel, David Legwand and co. prove a tougher opponent for the Blue Jackets?
Zemgus Girgensons led the Sabres last season with three points in as many games against the Blue Jackets (2 goals, 1 assist). Marcus Foligno also put up two points against the Columbus squad.
