The primary storyline going into this game was the debut of Seth Jones, who was paired with Ryan Murray for the game. Despite being on the ice for (by my count) three of Carolina's goals, I thought Jones played with poise and at times was able to show his mobility. He was also able to get a few shots through traffic, which is something sorely lacking from Columbus blueliners this season. It's only one game, but early returns are positive.
The battle in net last night was between Anton Forsberg and Cam Ward, and both goaltenders performed well.
