Over the first two decades of the franchise, the Columbus Blue Jackets have struggled to establish one clear rival. Such rivalries are built on years of back-and-forth competition, high stakes, and some bad blood. Since the Jackets have been part of the Metropolitan Division, one match-up comes closest to these factors: the Pittsburgh Penguins.
I hate them so much.
Regular Season: 14-20-8
Playoffs: 3-7-1
At Nationwide Arena: 10-7-4
At Mellon Arena: 1-4-0
At PPG Paints Arena: 3-9-4
Record as Metropolitan Division opponents: 9-14-5
Unfortunately, these two teams were in separate divisions when both were bad.
