Latest news and updates about the Blue Jackets
Mike and Dan recap a week of good and bad for the Islanders, and set up what could be a massive Canadian road trip and a home game against the Blue Jackets next Sunday. A contest in St. Louis with a lot of weird connections ended being the most Rangers-like win we’ve seen in some […]
The Flyers welcomed a few familiar faces back to Philadelphia again tonight in Ivan Provorov and Egor Zamula. This was an important one for both sides, and they certainly weren’t making any new friends out there– Denver Barkey was boarded, Nikita Grebenkin was chatty as ever, and Carl Grundstrom fought Adam Fantilli. Two crucial points — or three — were on the line between teams in direct contention with each other, and it’s a disappointing conclusion to an exciting week for the Flyers. They r...
After a quick trip out to Minnesota on Thursday (and a huge win collected there), the Flyers are back at it again on home ice tonight. They’re putting together a nice run of play and certainly making things interesting in the race towards playoff contention, but another challenge lies in front of them tonight, as they face off against the Blue Jackets, who sit ahead of them in the standings, and just a point out of the final wildcard spot. Puck drop: 7:30 p.m. How to watch/listen: 📺...
The David Jiříček Trade Tree will never look good. The Columbus Blue Jackets have already gotten first-round goalie Pyotr Andreyanov out of the deal, with a second-rounder in 2027, and third- and fourth-round picks to play with in the 2026 Draft. They could either unearth quality players or cash in...
On Saturday night, the Philadelphia Flyers are playing host to the Columbus Blue Jackets, a game where both teams are on the outside looking in and really might not have much to play for. However, the Flyers promotional and marketing side have made it a night to try to remember, calling it The Office Night after the popular American comedy series (based on the just as stellar original British version). So, with The Office show in the minds of fans heading to Xfinity Mobile Arena, what bet...
Sam Reinhart scored the deciding goal 2:20 into overtime as the Florida Panthers extended its winning streak to three games with a hard-fought 2-1 win over the Columbus Blue Jackets at Amerant Bank Arena. After a ridiculously good first period from Sergei Bobrovsky (14 saves) kept the outplayed Panthers even, the Blue Jackets finally broke through 13:01 into the second when Adam Fantilli took a lead pass from Mason Marchment and wired a wrister home from the right circle. The Cats op...
When forward Artemi Panarin signed in New York, he was one of the premier free agents in 2019. Leaving the Columbus Blue Jackets after sweeping the Tampa Bay Lightning in the first-round, he was highly coveted, and he chose to seek greener pastures after all was said and done. His friend Sergei Bobrovsky would exercise his rights to escape to Florida. The difference between the two is that Bobrovsky has two Stanley Cups to his name, while Panarin has nothing but disappointment to ...
Another night, and another loss for the Tampa Bay Lightning. A team that just a month ago couldn’t lose, looks completely lost on the ice as they drop their sixth game out of their last seven. Despite scoring first, a three-goal second period by the Columbus Blue Jackets left the Lightning asking more questions as they kicked off their homestead with a 5-2 loss to the hard-charging Metro Division team. Gage Goncalves scored in his return from injury and J.J. Moser cut the lead to one goal...
On the list of 2026 unrestricted free agents (UFA), we find Patrik Laine. Selected 2nd overall in 2016, he was lauded as one of the best prospects to land in the NHL and in Winnipeg. In 2021, Laine was traded to the Columbus Blue Jackets with former teammate Jack Roslovic to get a fresh start after an unhappy tenure with the Winnipeg Jets. The Blue Jackets sent Pierre-Luc Dubois and a 2022 third-round pick to the Jets, retaining part of his salary. He'd find himself at anoth...

It's been 44 months since the 2022 NHL Entry Level Draft, where David Jiricek was selected sixth overall by the Columbus Blue Jackets. Almost four years (and two trades) later, Philadelphia has their hands on their next big reclamation project.
The Florida Panthers ugly losing streak reached four as a late comeback bid stalled in a 4-2 loss to the Columbus Blue Jackets at Nationwide Arena. First Star Ivan Provorov opened the scoring with a power-play marker 5:08 into the action and then drew the secondary assist on Mathieu Olivier’s deflection goal midway through the second. After Boone Jenner put the Blue Jackets comfortably ahead by three 1:41 into the third, the Panthers would put a scare into the home team before ultima...
The Vancouver Canucks' fire sale continues, as they've dealt a huge contract off their books. The Canucks sent forward Conor Garland to the Columbus Blue Jackets, in exchange for a 2028 second-round pick, and a 2026 third-round pick. Garland hasn't even had his new extension kick in, and the Canucks are moving on. The pesky forward is in the final season of his current contract, earning $4.95 million AAV, and next season has his extension start, which is a six-year deal, at $6 million AAV. Gar...
The Florida Panthers (30-28-3) limp into tonight’s meeting with the Columbus Blue Jackets (31-21-8) at Nationwide Arena looking to halt a three-game losing streak. Fading Florida dropped a 5-1 decision to the New Jersey Devils at Prudential Center on Tuesday. Anton Lundell collected his 200th NHL point by potting the Panthers’ only goal, which tied the score before the Devils pulled away in the second period. Evan Rodriguez and Uvis Balisnkis drew the assists. Segei Bobrovksy delivered a ...
A very scary scene on Tuesday night as Nashville Predators forward Ryan O'Reilly had to leave the game after being cut near his eye. The Predators were playing the Columbus Blue Jackets Tuesday night and O'Reilly was struck near his left eye with a stick, very close to be severely harmful. The Preds forward was hit with Charlie Coyle's errant stick off a faceoff midway through the third period, and he did not return. "For those who are concerned about Ryan O'Reilly, we expect that he is ...
A shocking four-goal comeback gave the Garden life for one night, but the real story might be Gabe Perreault’s surge, Adam Fox’s ambiguity, and J.T. Miller testing fans’ patience.
The Rangers overcame a 4-0 deficit in the third period to force overtime but miss out on the extra point.

The Islanders pulled out yet another overtime win — their eighth in eight tries this season — and another two points from a game where they didn’t have their best and their opponent left feeling like they deserved better. Trailing 2-0 early in the second period, Ilya Sorokin kept the Isles in the game long […]
It was announced today that former 1st-round pick of the Columbus Blue Jackets , Kent Johnson, was a healthy scratch ahead of today's game against the New York Islanders. Drafted by former general manager Jarmo Kekalainen, Johnson was poised to propel the Blue Jackets into Stanley Cup contention. Kent Johnson scratched tonight for CBJ… @megangley mentioned him on the pod over the summer as a potential great fit in Colorado. — Jesse Montano (@jessemontano_) February 28, 2026 But this...
The Islanders remain on the road in Columbus before coming back home tomorrow for a meeting with the Panthers. Both opponent are chasing to get back in the wild card spots, though it’s looking bleak for the two-time defending Cup champs. The Blue Jackets have two games in hand on the Isles but trail by […]
With Jeremy Swayman given an extra night off to acclimate to post-Olympic life, Joonas Korpisalo filled in more than admirably. The former Columbus netminder made 36 saves, including several big ones, to lead the Bruins to a 4-2 win over the Blue Jackets at TD Garden. Viktor Arvidsson led the way on offense with two […]
No, your eyes are not deceiving you — that IS PJ Axelsson and Jared Boll! For whatever reason, that was one of the first images that popped up when searching for “Bruins Columbus,” along with UCLA playing Ohio State. It seemed like a good idea to start the second half Public Skates with some nostalgia. […]
