Blue Jackets Thump Sabres to Snap Buffalo's 10-Game Win Streak

Columbus scored three first-period goals, including a short-handed one, ending Buffalo’s 10-game win streak with a 5-1 victory, aided by defensemen’s strong offensive output.

  • On Saturday, the Columbus Blue Jackets beat the Buffalo Sabres 5-1, snapping Buffalo's league-leading 10-game win streak with multiple goals throughout the game.
  • Blue Jackets struck early, scoring three times in the first period, including a short-handed goal, with Denton Mateychuk opening scoring at 3 minutes and extending his point streak to six games.
  • Damon Severson and Zach Werenski each had two assists, with Werenski returning from a four-game absence to record a point in his last 13 home games.
  • Buffalo's defeat was its first since Dec. 8, ending their unbeaten run as the Sabres host Vancouver on Tuesday and the Blue Jackets visit Pittsburgh on Sunday.
  • Columbus' blue-line scoring, which leads the NHL with 32 goals, helped end Buffalo's 10-game win streak, only the third time snapped in the franchise's 56-year history.
