Gregory Hofmann scored his first NHL career goal in the Columbus Blue Jackets 4-1 defeat of the Dallas Stars at Nationwide Arena on Monday.
Oliver Bjorkstrand, Zach Werenski, and Alex Texier each had a goal and an assist for the Blue Jackets (4-2-0).
Elvis Merzlikins made 31 saves and has recorded a 4-0-0 record to start the season.
“We want to bounce back after the Carolina [Hurricanes] game,” Hofmann said. “I think from the first shift we were on our feet, we move our legs really well, we support each other. When we have a chance, we score at the right time.
