Hecht, Kotalik lift Sabres over Columbus

Columbus Blue Jackets' Ole-Kristian Tollefsen, of Norway, has blood running down his face after a fight with Buffalo Sabres' Drew Stafford during the second period of a preseason hockey game Thursday, Oct. 2, 2008, in Columbus, Ohio.

Jochen Hecht and Ales Kotalik had a goal and an assist each to lead the Buffalo Sabres past the Columbus Blue Jackets 5-2 in a preseason game Thursday night. Thomas Vanek, Teppo Numminen and Nathan Gerbe also scored for Buffalo. “Our puck battles were good. We had a pretty good physical nature to the game,” Sabres coach Lindy Ruff said.
