Fix-Wolansky, 23, was selected in the seventh round of the 2018 NHL draft and made his NHL debut last season with 1-1-2 in six games for the Blue Jackets. Cleveland was playing in Laval, Quebec at the time he was recalled, so Fix-Wolansky had two flights to get back to the Blue Jackets – the first to New York and a connection to Columbus early Sunday morning.— Fix-Wolansky skated at left wing on the Blue Jackets’ second line with center Cole Sillinger and Yegor Chinakhov on the right.
— This was the first time Tarasov has faced the Florida Panthers and Bobrovsky, who’s from the same hometown in Siberia, Russia . — Johnny Gaudreau assisted on Jenner’s goal for his fourth straight game with an assist. The Jackets’ leading scorer has 1-7-8 in the past eight games and has 6-10-16 for the season.“I know the speed, I know the way the game is played. The main thing for me is just to play the same way that I’ve been playing down in the AHL.”“We’re going into a game tonight where you’d better take care of the puck, because they’re lethal.
