Montgomery also mentioned Hutson and Parekh by name, saying he wasn't sure how to pronounce Parekh, and mentioned the Isles' Matthew Schaefer as the kid that was picked first overall, so he didn't know all the top offensive d-men's names. Still, that was something.

What a goal by #CBJ prospect William Whitelaw.

That's on Montgomery for not knowing the name of last year's Norris runner-up to Cale Makar, but it's also on the NHL and national media that almost never talks about the #CBJ ... they're Bruno, apparently.

#StlBlues coach Jim Montgomery, speaking to reporters in St. Louis on Friday, talked about how dangerous Zach Werenski is to play against. Called him "No. 8" a couple times before saying, "When you have the Makars and the Hughes ... and I can't remember his name, No. 8?"

On his second shift, Smith has a lane coming down from the left point and drills one right off the post. Buckeyes are up 1-0 early.
#CBJ first-round pick Jackson Smith (No. 7) getting the start against Ohio State. You can follow along on BTN if you’re so inclined.

At The Schott checking out #CBJ prospect Jackson Smith. He really is a slick skater at 6-4, 200, uses impressive edge work and hammers the one-timer with a LH shot. Made a nice defensive play to start a rush, then rung one off the bar from above the circles.

Looking for a rare sweep of back-to-back games, the Columbus Blue Jackets will keep their lineup mostly the same against the Toronto Maple Leafs.

Miles Wood's returning, Zach Aston-Reese is coming out (healthy scratch), Yegor Chinakhov is staying in the #CBJ lineup and Jet Greaves will get back between the pipes up there in Buffalo. Here's a more detailed preview -> https://t.co/cqhQnB30kh

These are two things the #CBJ kill is currently missing while ranked dead last in the NHL on PKs ... both goalies have been outstanding at 5v5 and even-strength, but neither has been their best penalty-killer, as the cliche goes. Jackets also need more shot blockers.
Two reasons #Sabres PK works so well: 1) Lyon second in PK save percentage at .966 (!), among goalies with at least 5 GP. Stopped 56 of 58 shots. 2) Timmins leads NHL in SH TOI (38:01) and in blocks on the PK (11). Hugely underrated addition.

Lindy confirmed Kesselring in tonight for #Sabres. Such a big addition. First time this season the six D they noted as their guys will be together. Remember, it was Kesselring -- and not Doan -- who was supposed to be the big get in the Peterka trade. And Doan has been great.

Sabres coach Lindy Ruff asked his opinion of #CBJ: “very dangerous team” he is very impressed by the Monahan line saying 5 on 5 it’s one of the best in the league.
