The Columbus Blue Jackets face off against the Buffalo Sabres on rivalry night, so we have you covered on how to watch, listen, and projected lineups.
The Blue Jackets are facing off against the Buffalo Sabres for the first time this season in their lone appearance on NBCSN. This is part of the rivalry night series on the network, but this has to be the biggest stretch in a long time.
TV, Streaming, Radio:

Injuries:
Columbus: Lukas Sedlak (6 weeks), Gabriel Carlsson ( Day to Day)
Lukas Sedlak being injured will put an even bigger hole in the middle for the Columbus Blue Jackets who are already lacking depth down the center of the ice. Along with Sedlak, Carlsson is expected to be out, but this blow is not as big as Sedlak because of the defensive depth in Columbus.
Buffalo: Nathan Beaulieu( Day to Day), Josh Gorges ( Day to Day), Zemgus Giregensons (Day to Day), Jacob Josefson ( Week to Week), Evan Rodrigues (Day to Day), Justin Falk ( Week to Week)
The season is still early, but the Buffalo Sabres have seemed to hit the injury bug. While these may not be the biggest names on the roster, they do lose a lot of depth with these injuries. The Sabres are already lacking so much, so these injuries seem to bury them even further.
