3 takeaways from Blue Jackets' preseason win over Penguins
Jet Greaves stole the show in Columbus' 4-1 win over Pittsburgh, turning aside 24 of 25 and continuing a flawless preseason run. The Jackets leaned on top-pairing Werenski and Fabbro to reclaim their curb appeal on the blue line, while Christiansen seized a chance with a power-play goal. Chinakhov and Johnson supplied timely scoring, and Columbus' goaltending depth—Greaves paired with Fedotov—continues to trend sharp ahead of the regular season.

Claude Giroux sticks with Senators, Blue Jackets keep Dante Fabbro - The Globe and Mail

Claude Giroux will remain with the Ottawa Senators for another season after signing a one-year contract worth $2 million, with additional incentives. The veteran forward, who has played 18 seasons in the NHL, contributed 50 points in the past season, significantly aiding the Senators' return to the playoffs for the first time in eight years.

Meanwhile, Dante Fabbro has secured a four-year contract with the Columbus Blue Jackets for $16.5 million after impressing since his acquisition from Nashville. In contrast, Conor Sheary was placed on waivers by the Tampa Bay Lightning for contract termination; he managed only five games last season due to injuries and salary cap constraints.

What does Giroux's re-signing mean for the Senators' playoff aspirations?How will Sheary's departure affect the Lightning's roster?What impact will Fabbro's contract have on the Blue Jackets' defense?Which teams could be interested in signing Veleno?
