And that was the least of their problems. Preseason or not, they were embarrassed by the Blue Jackets 7-0, dropping their exhibition record to 5-2. It took Columbus just 63 seconds to take the lead, when former Winnipeg Jet Patrik Laine chipped a puck high past Thomas Greiss at the net front for the game’s first goal. Next, Yegor Chinakhov skated past Robert Bortuzzo for a loose puck along the boards and then skated in to beat Greiss for a 2-0 Columbus lead with 7:57 left in the first. It was Chinakhov’s fifth goal of the preseason; he had two a week ago in at 4-2 Columbus loss in St. Louis. Tyler Tucker tried to light a spark, dropping gloves with Matt Olivier just three seconds after the Chinakhov goal. But Olivier dominated the fight, taking Tucker to the ice. Then came a shorthanded goal by Columbus native Jack Roslovic, making it a 3-0 game — still in the first period. And that was pretty much it. Columbus would score four more times before the night ended. Thomas Greiss, who will back up Jordan Binnington this season, was scheduled to play the entire game. But after allowing his seventh goal on 31 shots, Greiss was pulled in favor of Joel Hofer with 10:39 left in the contest. Greiss had allowed only two goals on 33 shots on goal in two previous appearances encompassing three periods. [/QUOTE]
