It was a special night for Sean Monahan and his top line, who led the Blue Jackets to a surprising victory against Nathan MacKinnon's Avalanche.

Now, the goal is to polish up their puck management while looking for a win against Nathan MacKinnon and the Colorado Avalanche on Saturday night at Ball Arena. It’s the Avs’ home-opener, and they’re also seeking their first win after an 8-4 loss to open the season Wednesday in Las Vegas.

Kirill Marchenko and Yegor Chinakhov scored in a three-goal second period for Columbus, and the Blue Jackets beat the Colorado Avalanche 6-4.
