The Columbus Blue Jackets outclass Pittsburgh Penguins in a tense shootout thriller! We recap the Blue Jackets’ dominant performance through two periods, the unstoppable Werenski-Severson pairing, and Cam Talbot’s gutsy start in net. Fantilli’s faceoff prowess and line chemistry with Knies and Johnson spark optimism for the season, but questions linger about his limited minutes with Werenski and the need for the top line to break out offensively.

We also preview the upcoming clash with the struggling St. Louis Blues, spotlighting Jet Greaves’ impressive record versus St. Louis and key players to watch, including Connor McMichael and Mason McTavish. Can Columbus extend their winning streak over the Blues and ignite more offense from Fantilli and Werenski? Plus: predictions, Cannonball of the Game, and insight into recent lineup and coaching decisions.
