After a passable season debut and a disjointed home opener to start 2018-19, the question for Tuesday night in Columbus: which version of the Blue Jackets would show up against the Colorado Avalanche? Missing a few key cogs, the CBJ delivered a strong start and a strong finish behind two Nick Foligno goals to top the previously undefeated Avalanche, 5-2.
Foligno scored two (with an assist) while Pierre-Luc Dubois, Artemi Panarin and Josh Anderson also found the back of the net. Sergei Bobrovsky showed up as his usual self, stopping 25 of 27 shots for his first win of the year.
