Columbus Blue Jackets (11-18-7, 29 points, 8th Metropolitan, 15th East)
In a weird quirk of NHL scheduling, the Columbus Blue Jackets will finish their season series with the Toronto Maple Leafs just 15 days after kicking it off. After getting out to a 5-0 lead in two periods on December 14th (don’t ask about the third) and playing much better on Saturday than the 4-1 loss would indicate, the Jackets look to put up another good performance to finish the 2023 home slate.
