The Blue Jackets' offense was clicking Monday night as Columbus defeated the Buffalo Sabres 7-4.

As the first period came to an end, Zemgus Girgensons scored a power-play goal for Buffalo to once again tie the game.

The Blue Jackets started the second period with a flurry of goals. Oliver Bjorkstrand, Max Domi, and Vladislav Gavrikov all scored in the first 3:41 of the second to give the Blue Jackets a 5-2 lead.

Buffalo answered with a pair of goals in the next six minutes to cut the lead to 5-4.

In the third, Gavrikov and Sean Kuraly scored in the final minute to give the Blue Jackets a 7-4 victory.

Joonas Korpisalo made 29 saves in Columbus' third victory in its last four games.

Columbus will return home to take on the Winnipeg Jets Wednesday.
