The Columbus Blue Jackets enter the NHL’s holiday break as one of nearly one-third of the league’s teams who had games cancelled, facilities closed, and the team shut down until at least December 26, 2021. In addition to missing the game against the Calgary Flames, the Blue Jackets missed two games against the Buffalo Sabres and are expected to miss Monday’s tilt with the Toronto Maple Leafs with questions about border crossings.
As the Blue Jackets go to break with questions about getting back to play, where does the league and the team stand?
First, as many of you are aware, the league is shut down - the final game on Tuesday night, Tampa Bay and Vegas, was played and then teams were sent on Christmas break early.
