After losing a shootout against the Avalanche in which the teams alternated 3-goal runs, the Columbus Blue Jackets got another chance to knock off Colorado. Joonas Korpisalo makes his season debut, while Mattieu Olivier subs in for the injured Jakub Voracek.
First Period
The top line and pair had some good offensive zone pressure to start the game, but the Avalanche’s first breakout led to a goal. Nathan MacKinnon found Artturi Lehkonen on a 2-on-1 Korpisalo had no chance on. Mikko Rantanen also earned his fifth point of the weekend.
