BUFFALO, N.Y. (AP) --- Josh Norris scored twice, defenseman Owen Power had
three assists and the Buffalo Sabres beat the Columbus Blue Jackets 5-2 on
Friday night.
Norris ended a six-game goals drought to help Buffalo win for the fourth time
in five games.
Jack Quinn, Rasmus Dahlin and Josh Doan also scored, and Ukko-Pekka Luukkonen
made 24 saves.
Kent Johnson and Zach Werenski scored for Columbus, and Jet Greaves made 32
saves. The Blue Jackets have lost three straight road games.
Quinn opened the scoring at 6:50 of the first period with his ninth of the
season, and Johnson tied it with 4:00 left in the period with his eighth.
Norris made it 2-1 with 1:50 to go in the first with his first goal since Oct.
17.
Dahlin made it 3-1 with a one-timer 4:30 into the second period. Norris' second
goal at 9:46 made it 4-1. Doan made it 5-1 1:07 later.
Werenski's power-play goal with 1:39 left in the third made it 5-2.
Blue Jackets forward Sean Monahan left the second period because of a
lower-body injury and did not return. He blocked Dahlin's shot during his last
shift.
