Welcome back, Kris.

Returning from a nine-game absence, Kris Versteeg immediately made his presence felt in Columbus. The 30-year-old took advantage of a Seth Jones giveaway, then beat the Blue Jackets with a lethal between-the-legs dangle, before setting up Troy Brouwer for a tap-in.

The goal - which gave Calgary a 1-0 lead - was Brouwer's fifth of the season, while the assist was Versteeg's fifth point.
