  "summary": "In a preseason matchup that lived up to expectations, the Buffalo Sabres dominated the Columbus Blue Jackets 5-1 on September 22 at the KeyBank Center. The Blue Jackets, who fielded a roster of mostly AHL prospects, failed to challenge the projected NHL lineup from Buffalo. Josh Norris scored the opening goal for the Sabres in the second period, followed by consecutive goals from Noah Ostund, which put the Sabres ahead 3-0. Buffalo continued their dominance in the third period, scoring two more goals, ultimately securing the win. The Blue Jackets, who played with veteran goalie Cam Talbot in the first two periods and rookie Evan Gardner in the third, managed to score a single goal from Corson Ceulemans. The Blue Jackets will continue their preseason schedule with a game against the Pittsburgh Penguins on September 24 at Nationwide Arena, followed by a game in Detroit on September 26.",
