Blowing late leads has been the story of the season so far. After going up 7-1, the Jackets gave up 3 unanswered goals and likely had many fans holding their breath. This time was different. They were able to respond with two goals in the third period to ice the game. Here’s how it went down.
1st Period
For the second game in a row, the Jackets gave up a goal in the first minute of play. Cozens found Dahlin streaking undefended through the slot, and Tarasov didn’t stand a chance.
BUF Goal 1-0: Dahlin (Cozens, Mittelstadt) 0:30
Puck possession tilted toward the Jackets after the goal.
