Blue Jackets explode on power play, down Red Wings, 4-2, in exhibition
Detroit —The Red Wings soundly defeated a minor league laden Columbus roster last week in preseason action.
In Wednesday's exhibition game, the Blue Jackets dressed a more regular-season roster and the gained revenge, defeating the Red Wings 4-2 in Columbus.
Riley Barber and Dan Renouf scored early third-period goals for the Wings, tying the game 2-2 on Renouf's goal at 6 minutes 39 seconds.
But Columbus countered with goals from Jakub Voracek and Patrik Laine (power play), regaining the lead.
Voracek put back a rebound of Jake Bean's shot that bounded off the glass straight to Voracek at the post. Voracek flipped a shot past goalie Alex Nedeljkovic, who couldn't come across quick enough.
