The Columbus Blue Jackets were 0-3 on the year heading into their game against the Ottawa Senators on Wednesday.

Columbus tried to break the puck out of the defensive zone midway through the period, but the Senators forced a turnover. Senators forward Mark Stone got a Jackets defender to chase him behind the net before slipping a no-look pass behind him to a waiting Kyle Turris. And he buried it.
