Josh Anderson and the Columbus Blue Jackets started this game on edge where Anderson quickly scrapped with Star’s captain Jamie Benn. After landing more punches on Benn the first period ended with no goals put into the back of the net.
Cam Atkinson continued the Blue Jackets powerplay goal scoring streak with another goal on the man advantage to take a 1-0 lead in the second period. Blake Comeau angered many of his former teams’ fans by attacking Seth Jones after a clean open ice hit.
