BUFFALO, N.Y. -- Joonas Korpisalo made 34 saves and four players scored to lead the Columbus Blue Jackets to a 4-1 victory over the Buffalo Sabres on Friday.

Matt Calvert, Nick Foligno, Dalton Prout and Brandon Saad scored for the Blue Jackets (33-40-8).

Sam Reinhart tallied for the Sabres (34-36-11) while Jason Kasdorf made 26 saves in his NHL debut.

Calvert opened the scoring on the power play with 1:15 remaining in the first period. The left winger skated inside the left circle with speed before unleashing a hard wrist shot off the far post and in for his 10th goal of the season.

The Blue Jackets could not stay out of the penalty box in the second period, taking four separate penalties, and the Sabres eventually made them pay on a 5-on-3 opportunity. Reinhart put the Sabres on the board at 13:37 with a terrific deflection on a pass by fellow rookie Jack Eichel. It was Reinhart's 23rd goal.

The Blue Jackets soon took back control, despite being outshot 18-6 in the second.

Foligno made it 2-1 with 4:44 remaining in the second. After Columbus forced a turnover along the right wall, center Boone Jenner found a wide-open Foligno for his 12th goal.

Prout gave Columbus a 3-1 lead 2:09 later on a 3-on-2 rush up ice. Prout ripped a hard wrist shot high to the glove side for his third goal.

Saad made it 4-1 at 5:11 of the third. After Kasdorf lost track of the puck behind the net, center Alexander Wennberg found Saad wide open in the slot and Saad buried a one-timer for his 30th goal.

Sabres defenseman Zach Bogosian left the game in the first period after taking a hard hit from Saad and did not return.
