Hockey is back in Nationwide Arena tonight as the Blue Jackets host the first home exhibition game of the preseason tonight against the Buffalo Sabres.
Coming off a 3-0 blanking of Pittsburgh in the preseason opener Monday night, Columbus will return just three players to the lineup -- forward Kevin Stenlund, defenseman Andrew Peeke and goaltender Jet Greaves. Inserted will be three central Ohio natives in AAA Blue Jackets products Sean Kuraly, Carson Meyer and Jack Roslovic as well as CBJ regulars Oliver Bjorkstrand, Eric Robinson, Jake Bean, Vladislav Gavrikov and Elvis Merzlikins.
The game can be watched via a webstream here at BlueJackets.com as well as heard on 97.1 The Fan.
The Blue Jackets also play at home Wednesday night vs. St. Louis.
