The Jackets completed their 18th season with a 47-31-4 record (98 pts.), finishing fifth in the Metropolitan Division, eighthin the Eastern Conference and 13th overall in the NHL. The 2018-19 campaign marked the second-best regular season in club historyafter 2016-17’s 50-24-8 (108 pts.) season. OPENING TIDBITS The Blue Jackets open 2019-20 with three of their first four games of the campaign at Nationwide Arena. Columbus welcomes Buffalotonight and Anaheim on Friday. The club is looking for its first win of the season following a pair of losses to Toronto on Friday and atPittsburgh on Saturday. The Jackets lost at least two straight eight times in 2018-19, but only two of those losing streaks were three ormore games in a row (0-5-0 from Jan. 18-Feb. 2 and 0-2-1 from Mar. 16-21). YOUTH IS SERVED (AGAIN) Thanks in large part due to five rookies, the Jackets’ opening game roster sits as the youngest roster (25.7) for the third time in the pastfour seasons. CBJ had the youngest roster in both 2016-17 (25.1) and 2018-19 (25.1). The Jackets had the sixth youngest roster in2017-18 (25.8). ROOKIE READY The Blue Jackets’ opening night roster featured five rookies: Emil Bemstrom, Vladislav Gavrikov, Jakob Lilja, Elvis Merzlikins andAlexandre Texier. Bemstrom led the SHL in goals with 23, tied for the third-most by a teenager in a season in league history. Gavrikovcame over from the KHL and played a pair of playoff contests last season. Texier played two regular season games and eight playoffcontests with CBJ. Lilja, a teammate of Bemstrom with Djurgarden in the SHL, finished 10th-T in the league in points with 12-25-37.Merzlikins joins the team after winning the Swiss National League’s Goaltender of the Year award in 2015-16 and 2017-18. Bemstrom,Lilja and Texier each played in the opener vs. Toronto, while Merzlikins and Gavrikov suited up vs. Pittsburgh. OCTOBER BREAKDOWN After opening the season vs. Toronto and Pittsburgh, the Blue Jackets will play 10 more games in the month of October, including sixmore at Nationwide Arena. The club will play in two more sets of back-to-back games (10/11 vs. ANA and 10/12 at CAR as well as10/18 at CHI and 10/19 vs. NYI). Columbus will face four division opponents this month (PIT, CAR – 2x, NYI, PHI) and six EasternConference teams (TOR – 2x, PIT, BUF, CAR – 2x, NYI, PHI). TRACKING TWO POINTS Columbus has lost the first two games of a campaign five times in their 19-year existence (MR: 2016-17). Out of those five times, theBlue Jackets were able to corral their first win of the season in their third game of the year in three of those seasons (MR: 2016-17). MERZLIKINS MAKES DEBUT Elvis Merzlikins made his NHL debut on Saturday, turning in a 33-save performance against Pittsburgh in a 7-2 loss. The 25-year-oldgoaltender set a new franchise record for the most saves and shots faced by a netminder in his NHL debut, surpassing PascalLeclaire’s 28 saves on 31 shots on Feb. 20, 2004 vs. Phoenix (3-2 L). Merzlikins is also the first player to wear No. 90 for the BlueJackets in franchise history.

BUFFALO SOLDIER Pierre-Luc Dubois, who is looking for his first point of the 2019-20 campaign, has seen success against the Sabres in his NHL career.The center notched a goal and a multi-point effort in all three games in 2018-19 against Buffalo (3-5-8). His nine points vs. Buffalo aretied for the most against all NHL teams in his career (Florida). IN RARE COMPANY Cam Atkinson is looking to replicate his career-best 41-goal season and a key to fulfilling that will be getting off to a good start. Aftertallying in Friday’s opener, Atkinson has now scored a goal in each of Columbus’ last six season-opening games, tying an NHL recordin the process. Two other players have scored in their team’s first game in six consecutive seasons: Mud Bruneteau (DET, 6; 1940-41–1945-46) and Yvon Cournoyer (MTL, 6; 1973-74–1978-79). ON THE FARM The AHL’s Cleveland Monsters kicked off their season in victorious fashion, downing Laval 3-2 on Friday and 4-1 on Saturday.Elsewhere, Tyler Angle (2019, 7th Round) has opened his season in Windsor (OHL) with 4-3-7 in six games while Kirill Marchenko(2018, 2nd round) has 6-1-7 in eight games with SKA-Neva St. Petersburg (VHL).

•

•

Jack Eichel has totaled 12 points (3+9) in 12 career games against the Blue Jackets, including seven points (3+4) in six road

games.

Jeff Skinner has recorded 20 points (11+9) in 26 career games against the Blue Jackets, including 13 points (6+7) in his last 13 and

at least one in each of his last three visits to Columbus (2+2).

Evan Rodrigues scored a goal in each of his three career games in Columbus, totaling four points (3+1).

Jimmy Vesey totaled four points (3+1) in four games against the Blue Jackets last season.

Jake McCabe has recorded five assists in five visits to Columbus in the last three seasons. STARTING OFF ON THE RIGHT FOOT

The Sabres are currently 2-0-0 to start a season for the first time since 2012-13. The team last started the season with at least three

consecutive wins in 2008-09, when they won their first four contests and went unbeaten through the first eight (6-0-2).

Ralph Krueger has become the fourth Sabres head coach to earn wins in his first two games as the team’s head coach, joining

Marcel Pronovost (Oct. 13-15, 1977), Scotty Bowman (Oct. 11-13, 1979) and Jim Roberts (Dec. 9-12, 1981).

No Sabres head coach has ever won each of his first three games with the team. However, Bowman won the first three games of his

final of four separate tenures as the team’s head coach from Jan. 17 to 22, 1986, making him the only coach in Sabres history to do

so in any stint with the team. CONTROLLING THE PLAY

Through six periods this season, the Sabres have yet to be outshot by an opponent in a single period, leading in five periods and

tying once. They have held their opponents to fewer than 10 shots in four of those periods.

The Sabres have outshot their opponents 77-49 in total and by a 59-36 margin at even strength.

Buffalo entered play Sunday trailing only the Nashville Predators with a team SAT% of 60.0%, out-attempting their opponents 99-66

at even strength so far this season.

Each of Buffalo’s 18 skaters who have dressed through two games has an individual SAT% of at least 50 percent

Kyle Okposo’s team-leading SAT% of 77.14% ranked fifth in the league entering play Sunday and led all players with at least 11

minutes of ice time so far this season. Marco Scandella’s 74.51% SAT% ranked ninth in the league and led all defensemen with

more than one game played. PLAYING WITH POWER

The Sabres entered play Sunday with the top-ranked power play in the league, converting on four of their six power plays through the

first two games of the season (66.7%).

Entering Sunday’s games, Buffalo also led the league in shot generation rate with the man advantage, averaging 3.49 shots per two

minutes of power-play time.

According to NaturalStatTrick.com, the Sabres are one of two teams who have averaged more than five shot attempts per two

minutes of power-play time so far this season. LET’S GET DANGEROUS

According to NaturalStatTrick.com, the Sabres led the league entering play Sunday with a high-danger scoring chance percentage of

76.0%, out-chancing their opponents 19-6 in high-danger situations at 5-on-5 through the team’s first two games.*

By this metric, Jeff Skinner leads all Sabres with three high-danger scoring chances during 5-on-5 play. Skinner tied for ninth in the

league with 94 high-danger scoring chances last season.

Five other players have recorded more than one high-danger scoring chance through the team’s two games: Jack Eichel, Casey
