ICYMI, The Athletic: #CBJ Jet Greaves is a student of the game - today and yesterday - which has bonded him with legendary NHL goaltender and broadcaster John Davidson

“If I’m being honest, I bet I enjoyed our talk probably more than he did.” - Davidson

#CBJ coach Dean Evason said Zach Werenski was at Nationwide Arena earlier this morning for treatment with the medical staff.

He didn’t rule out Werenski playing Sunday vs. #Isles, but it doesn’t seem likely.

how about Mason MARCHMENT. 2-goal night, three since the trade to #CBJ

2-0 Jackets over Kings through one.

#CBJ Greaves just saved Brendan Smith's bacon, but ...

#CBJ Wood off to the penalty box at 2:59 after dragging down #GoKingsGo Turcotte.

#CBJ back to the penalty kill, up 2-0 early 2nd.

#CBJ Mason Marchment is the first player in franchise history to have three goals in his first two games with the organization.

He still has two periods to go in his second game, too.

#CBJ lead 2-0 after one period. #GoKingsGo

#CBJ Marchment, who had 4 goals in 29 games with #SeaKraken, now has three in four periods for the Blue Jackets.

#CBJ Marchment - what the hell? again? - redirects a Damon Severson wrister, sending it down through #GoKingsGo Forsberg's pads.

2-0 with 23.5 seconds remaining

#CBJ 2-0

And there goes the #GoKingsGo power play. Kuzmenko off for highsticking #CBJ Jenner at 18:16. So ...

1:16 of 4-on-4 play, then #CBJ to the power play.

#CBJ Jet Greaves got a huge break earlier when #GoKingsGo Kempe drew iron off a rip from the slot. He just made two strong saves on Alex LaFerriere.

#CBJ Fabbro off for crosschecking at 17:32 of the first period. #GoKingsGo back to the power play now. #CBJ lead 1-0

#CBJ now head to the penalty kill after a long shift in their zone. #GoKingsGo shootin' wild right there. Severson sits for hooking at 12:27 of the first period.

#CBJ Fabbro with a big hit on #GoKingsGo Byfield. Pretty sure the Kings will make a note of that. Clean, hard check along the end boards.
