For the 2021 NHL season, the divisions have been temporarily re-aligned. As a result, the Columbus Blue Jackets get to face a different set of opponents than they have faced the last seven seasons in the Metropolitan Division. Three of the new rivals in the Discover Central Division are franchises we grew quite familiar with in the old Central Division of 2000-2013. Since a lot has changed, the site managers of the division’s blogs thought it would be useful to share insight on each of our teams, to bring everyone else up to speed. Special thanks to Taylor Baird at Defending Big D for coming up with the format and schedule.
