COLUMBUS, Ohio (AP) — Boone Jenner scored the go-ahead goal on the power play 6:42 into the third period, helping the Columbus Blue Jackets to a 3-2 comeback victory over the Buffalo Sabres on Thursday night.

The Buffalo Sabres will finish off their three-game homestand against the Carolina Hurricanes at KeyBank Center on Tuesday night, looking for their fifth win in a row and their seventh straight victory on home ice.

The Buffalo Sabres haven’t been giving games away for at least a month, but it did happen Thursday, losing in Columbus, 3-2. Jet Greaves was called up on emergency basis and was in goal after playing in Cleveland on Wednesday.

The Sabres got out-shot 33-18 on the night, but Reimer stood tall as he recorded his first clean sheet of the season. The 37-year-old netminder has won seven straight starts since taking over the No. 1 job for Buffalo, posting a 2.40 GAA and .921 save percentage over that stretch.

The Buffalo Sabres just keep playing well, but it all started too late as despite Buffalo’s win over the Carolina Hurricanes, the Montreal Canadiens beat the Detroit Red Wings to officially eliminate the Sabres for an NHL record 14th straight season.

Aston-Reese, Jenner score goals in the third period to reward Greaves for terrific fill-in goaltending performance in Blue Jackets' win over Sabres.

Late in a scoreless opening period, Buffalo shortened its first penalty kill to just 56 seconds. Dahlin’s crushing hit on Jackson Blake forced an errant pass and allowed Zach Benson to clear the zone to Beck Malenstyn, who sped up ice and drew a high-sticking minor.

Visiting the Columbus Blue Jackets, the Buffalo Sabres coughed up three unanswered goals in a 3-2 defeat.JJ Peterka and the Sabres opened the scoring eight-minutes into the opening period. Peterka accepted a neutral zone pass from Ryan McLeod,
