However, it wasn't all smooth sailing as they faced a tough challenge against the Columbus Blue Jackets. Despite generating numerous shots on goal and maintaining possession through faceoffs won (62 percent), converting these opportunities into points proved difficult as they only managed one goal throughout this encounter.
