Blue Jackets Rally to 3-2 Win, Sabres' Streak Ends

The Columbus Blue Jackets secured a crucial 3-2 comeback victory against the Buffalo Sabres, overcoming a 2-0 deficit thanks to key contributions from Boone Jenner, who scored the game-winning goal on a power play in the third period, and rookie goalie Jet Greaves, who made 39 saves. The Sabres initially led with goals from JJ Peterka and Rasmus Dahlin, but the Blue Jackets fought back, with James van Riemsdyk cutting the lead just before the first period ended. Following a scoreless second period, Zach Aston-Reese tied the game early in the third before Jenner's decisive goal. This victory momentarily bolstered the Blue Jackets' slim playoff hopes, as they now await the outcome of other games to determine their fate. The win also ended the Sabres' five-game winning streak, marking a significant turnaround for Columbus. Coach Paul Maurice of the Panthers also celebrated a milestone victory with a strong performance in a separate matchup against Detroit.
