Ouch. Sabres Beat Blue Jackets 5-2, Monahan Hurt & Is Jet Greaves a Problem?

That one hurt. One night after the big comeback against Dallas, the Blue Jackets got blown out 5-2 in Buffalo on the second night of a back-to-back. Bob McElligott and Producer Adam break down a game where the passes were off all night, the Sabres kept coming, and Sean Monahan left after taking a shot off the foot.

Kent Johnson scored again (his 8th, already more than all of last season), and Zach Werenski scored on the power play, which means half-price pizza tomorrow. Jet Greaves made 32 saves on 37 shots, and the Talbot vs. Greaves debate is heating up. We also get into the lineup changes, the Lomberg scratch, Fantilli's rough night, and Bob's snowed-in-in-Buffalo story.

Next up: Florida on Tuesday, 7 p.m., Nationwide Arena, on ESPN.
