In a similar game to the one previously, the score perhaps did not match the effort, as Columbus was able to put 5 past M. Subban and only 1 was scored against F. Andersen. Shots were 31 for CBJ to 28 for Det. Scoring for CBJ was a bit more spread out, as Tarasenko, Gourde and Middleton contributed. For Detroit, another strong showing for T. Bertuzzi.
