The Columbus Blue Jackets are currently on a win streak that is tied for their longest of the season, notching their fourth win in a row in a road game tonight against the Buffalo Sabres. They now sit tied atop the Metropolitan Division with the New Jersey Devils. Here are the thoughts from inside the locker room.

Pierre-Luc Dubois

On lessons learned from killing a penalty the final two minutes: "We're gonna keep learning from stuff like that, and we showed we're not scared to block shots, we're not scared to get in front of those lanes."

On learning different ways to win as a young player: "I think every day I just gotta be a sponge and absorb all the information that I get."

On Artemi Panarin: "One thing that's underrated is his puck protection. It's really hard to take the puck away from him. He's always moving, he's always got his body protecting the puck."

Boone Jenner

On the game: "Some ups and downs, I think. We found ourselves there for some minutes, I thought we did a good job in the third period when it was 1-0 to stay on our toes and find two more, but after those maybe a little bit of a letdown that we've got to be better at. " 

On his goal: "[Brandon Dubinsky] made a great play behind the net there to throw it backdoor, and I was lucky enough to find it."

David Savard

On whether he was nervous about the close call at the end being a goal: "No, I saw it right on the line, so I wasn't too worried about it."
