Colten Ellis, Sabres, Blank Blue Jackets to Stay Atop Atlantic Division

On Thursday, rookie goaltender Colten Ellis stopped 37 shots for his first NHL shutout, leading the Buffalo Sabres to a 5-0 victory over the Columbus Blue Jackets.
Ellis made his first start in over two months after goaltender Alex Lyon sustained a lower-body injury in practice. The Sabres hold a 49-23-8 record and lead the Atlantic Division.
Peyton Krebs opened the scoring in the first period, while Josh Doan added two third-period goals. Jack Quinn and Rasmus Dahlin also scored, providing offensive support for Ellis.
Defeat dealt a significant blow to Columbus's playoff hopes, as the Blue Jackets fell to 1-6-1 in their past eight games with just two contests remaining in the season.
Columbus travels to Montreal on Saturday night, while Buffalo visits Chicago on Monday to continue their regular season schedules. Both teams face critical final games.
