Columbus last season spent frankly bad. The Blue Jackets didn't show any successful results, finishing in last place in the Eastern Conference standings. At the same time, the team also started the preseason terribly - they lost to Buffalo with a score of 1:6. But then things went uphill for Columbus, as they picked up two wins - 3:0 over St. Louis and 8:4 over Washington.

Buffalo, in turn, also failed to perform successfully last season. The Sabres finished only 12th in the East standings. Their preparation for the new campaign is probably the most active, as they have already managed to play five matches within it. There were four wins in North America - 7:3 and 3:2 over Pittsburgh, as well as 6:1 over Columbus and 3:2 in overtime over Ottawa. And the day before, Buffalo beat Munich 5:0 in Europe.

On the eve of the meeting, the key factor is Buffalo's lineup, because the main core of the team flew to Europe, where they will start the new NHL season, but the players of the farm club will represent the team at the remaining preseason games in North America. Columbus will play with the optimal lineup, besides, they played two great games the day before - we expect them to win now.
