How to Watch Sabres at Blue Jackets: Stream NHL Live, TV Channel

After an emotional night in tribute of Johnny Gaudreau, the Columbus Blue Jackets go for their first win against the Buffalo Sabres.

This is the second game at home for the Columbus Blue Jackets as they host the Buffalo Sabres on Thursday. It comes after an emotional night on Wednesday when the franchise honored the life of Johnny Gaudreau who passed far too soon less than two months ago. There was a ceremony that saw a banner raised in the rafters to honor Gaudreau’s memory and great career with his family in attendance. The Blue Jackets held a pregame moment of silence and at puckdrop, Columbus didn’t line up with a left winger. The team fittingly let 13 seconds run off the clock for the great Calgary and Columbus standout. Unfortunately, the game didn’t end in a win as the visiting Florida Panthers won 4-3 with a goal and two assists from Sam Reinhart. The Blue Jackets fell despite outshooting the defending Stanley Cup Champions 38-22. James van Riemsdyk scored with less than three minutes left in regulation to bring the game within one but it was too little, too late.

The Sabres are playing on back-to-back nights after losing in overtime against the Pittsburgh Penguins on Wednesday 6-5. Who else but Sidney Crosby won the game for the Penguins? He scored the game-winner 1:38 into overtime on the powerplay after Rickard Rakell scored with less than a minute to go to tie the game. It negated a hot start for the Sabres who shot out to a 3-1 lead after the first period. They need a way to replicate that first period all the way through tonight against the Blue Jackets.
