Columbus scored on its first two shots of the contest on goals by Gregory Campbell and Ryan Johansen, but the Blue Jackets were then out-shot 10-3 over the rest of the period.

Columbus lost a pair of defensemen for the night, as Cody Goloubef's night ended after he blocked a shot and Fedor Tyutin exited with an undisclosed ailment.
