The Columbus Blue Jackets took their show on the road for the first time in this preseason, as they visited the St. Louis Blues. This is the first of 3 games in 3 days, so most of the Jackets regulars were kept at home. This was largely a Cleveland Monsters lineup, and the Monsters coaching staff manned the bench.
The only Columbus regulars to play were Riley Nash, Sonny Milano, Lukas Sedlak, and Anthony Duclair on the forward side, David Savard on defense, and Sergei Bobrovsky in goal for his preseason debut.
