The Columbus Blue Jackets have their first all-Metro weekend tilt this Friday and Saturday night with back-to-back games at Nationwide Arena as the team plays host to the Washington Capitals and the New York Rangers.
The Blue Jackets have played just three games against divisional opponents thus far (a win over the New York Islanders before dropping games against the Carolina Hurricanes and New York Rangers), and it will have been two weeks since last we saw a Metro foe when Friday night rolls around.
To catch fans up on the divisional goings-on, let’s take a quick tour of the division and see who has been playing well this season, and who has some ground to make up.
