COLUMBUS -- Jet Greaves made 39 saves for the Columbus Blue Jackets, who rallied for a 3-2 win against the Buffalo Sabres at Nationwide Arena on Thursday. Greaves was an emergency recall from Cleveland of the American Hockey League after Elvis Merzlikins left practice Thursday morning with an undisclosed injury.

The Columbus Blue Jackets scored twice in less than three minutes in the third period to rally for a 3-2 win against the visiting Buffalo Sabres on Thursday.

Mathieu Olivier and Justin Danforth each recorded a goal and an assist while Elvis Merzlikins made 33 saves to lift the Blue Jackets to a 5-2 win over the Senators. While the Blue Jackets kept their very slim playoff hopes alive, the Senators punched their ticket to the NHL Playoffs when the Montreal Canadiens defeated the Detroit Red Wings 4-1.
