Columbus Blue Jackets will host Buffalo Sabres on Thursday night in a thrilling hockey game at the Nationwide Arena. The Blue Jackets have played three matches this season, winning only once. They lost their home opener 3-4 to the Panthers in a game dedicated to Johnny Gaudreau, who died after being struck by a car. The Blue Jackets had far more on-target shots than their opponents but couldn’t match the Panthers goal-for-goal. Meanwhile, the Sabres claimed a 5-2 win at home against the Panthers and will be eager to build on that momentum. They will travel to the Penguins on Wednesday night before taking on Columbus a few hours later.
