Blue Jackets 7, Sabres 4
Jack Roslovic had two goals and an assist as visiting Columbus beat Buffalo.
“Yeah, it’s fun,” Roslovic said via NHL.com. “I think of that as my job and to do that is important, but you learn a lot of things as well. You’re consistently learning all the time. There’s not many ways to help the team win and we’ve been playing well. It was a good road trip (2-1-0), and that was a good way to end it.”
Vladislav Gavrikov scored twice and Max Domi had a goal and two assists for the Blue Jackets, who have won three of four. Joonas Korpisalo made 29 saves.
Tage Thompson scored twice for the Sabres in their third straight loss.
Penguins 3, Jets 1

Jason Zucker notched the tying goal in the second period and Jake Guentzel added an empty-netter to extend his goal streak to five games for the Penguins, who began the trip with wins at Montreal and Toronto.
Dominic Toninato scored in the first period and Connor Hellebuyck stopped 33 shots for the Jets, who fell to 7-2-1 at home this season.
Avalanche 7, Senators 5
