Ten members of the Jets had at least one turnover on Saturday night.

None of those players was named Dustin Byfuglien.

Head coach Claude Noel's decision to move No. 33 from defence to right wing didn't pay off with an offensive outburst, and it didn't improve the team's defensive play at all either as the Jets gave up six goals for the second time in three games.

Plenty of blame for Columbus' goals, however, belongs to Jets forwards not named Byfuglien. His teammates up front played very loosely in the defensive zone and allowed Blue Jackets shooters to have wide-open looks.

"Buff was OK," Noel said. "He got good support from the fans early, which was good to see. He tried his best. He created a few things, but I don't know that anybody was real good."

Byfuglien, playing with Andrew Ladd and Bryan Little, got big cheers from the fans when he touched the puck on his first shift, and his best offensive play was early in the third when he roared down the right side around Fedor Tyutin and passed the puck to Little, who failed to convert.

Byfuglien was minus-1 and had an assist, but that came while he was playing defence on the power play in the third period.

Ladd didn't think the line shuffling played a role in the 6-3 loss.

"I'm sure there's an adjustment for Buff not having played forward in a long time, but the rest of us know our jobs," Ladd said. "We know what we're doing. There's no excuse there."
