5 years agoColumbus Blue Jackets forward Alexandre Texier scored the overtime winning goal in a 4-3 victory over the Buffalo Sabres on Monday night. Texier added an assist in regulation time on Nick Foligno's powerplay goal, while Foligno returned the favor on the overtime winner. In a tough year after the offseason departures of many great players for the Blue Jackets, it should be promising to see Texier begin to contribute and build chemistry on a line with Foligno and Alexander Wennberg. Unfortunately for fantasy owners, the powerplay lines are mixed compared to the even-strength forward lines, so it is difficult to find a line stack that can cover both. Oliver Bjorkstrand and Cam Atkinson were the other goal scorers for the Jackets. --Nate Duffett
