Last night, Columbus defeated Buffalo 4-3 at Nationwide Arena. Tonight they play again in Buffalo.
Bad news: Sergei Bobrovsky’s shutout streak ended, and Robin Lehner played a great game to keep it close. Good news: Tonight the Jackets will face Anders Nilsson instead while Joonas Korpisalo will go for Columbus. He’s riding a .952 save percentage over his last three games.
