Ready or not, here we go. The first preseason game took place in Buffalo, and the 2024-25 season is (almost) underway. The Jackets’ preseason debut didn’t go great, so it’s a good thing the result doesn’t matter.
Weird things from this game: Fantilli wearing #19, Jack Johnson wearing a Blue Jackets jersey again, and Jordan Harris wearing #22 (“Hey, I thought we got rid of Jake Bean,”).
Did a little math as the preseason opener ticks away.
