The Chicago Blackhawks have won two out of three games to resume the season after the All-Star Break and are taking advantage of their rescheduled games so far. In come the Columbus Blue Jackets, a team the Blackhawks have already defeated this season: a 4-2 victory on Jan. 11.
This will be Seth Jones’ first game against his former team, as he missed that January game while in COVID-19 protocol. The Blue Jackets acquired Jones in a trade for center Ryan Johansen in January of 2016 before trading him to the Blackhawks in a deal that included former Blackhawks top-ten pick Adam Boqvist.
