OTTAWA, Ontario (AP) — Damon Severson had a goal and an assist, Jet Greaves made 27 saves and the Columbus Blue Jackets beat the Ottawa Senators 4-1 on Monday night for their third straight victory.
The NHL pushed back the starting time a half-hour to 7:30 p.m. after the Blue Jackets’ late arrival because of plane issues and inclement weather.
