Columbus Blue Jackets History

The Columbus Blue Jackets — whose name pays tribute to Ohio's substantial contributions to the Union army during the Civil War — joined the NHL as an expansion franchise in 2000.

The Blue Jackets played their first 12 seasons as a member of the Western Conference, making their first foray into the Stanley Cup Playoffs in 2008-2009 led by All-Star winger Rick Nash and Rookie of the Year goaltender Steve Mason.

NHL realignment saw the team move to the Eastern Conference in 2013-2014, and the Blue Jackets have since collected six winning seasons and qualified for the Stanley Cup Playoffs five times. Columbus was one of just three teams to earn playoff berths in four consecutive seasons from 2016-2020, joining the Boston Bruins and Washington Capitals.

In 2018-2019, the eighth-seeded Blue Jackets faced off against the Presidents' Trophy-winning and top-seeded Tampa Bay Lightning in the first round of the playoffs. The Blue Jackets shocked the heavily-favored Lightning as they became the first team in NHL history to earn a four-game sweep in the first round of the playoffs against a team with the league's best regular-season record.

    Attended a Bluejackets-Devils game at Nationwide Arena. Great arena, great game, and a great overall experience with a hotel (Drury Inn) within walking distance of the arena and lots of entertainment and food options in the Arena District around the arena. Great venue for a hockey game!

    Best game I’ve been to in a while

    by Ryan on 11/25/23Nationwide Arena - Columbus

    I was glad to see the Columbus bluejackets snap a 9 game losing streak to beat the Chicago Blackhawks who had the number one draft pick. The score was 7-3.

    fun

    by Marushka on 10/19/23Nationwide Arena - Columbus

    I'm a fan of both teams, but since I'm originally from Michigan, I had to root for the Red Wings, but usually I'm a Blue Jackets fan!

    CBJ game

    by Steelers#43 on 10/18/23Nationwide Arena - Columbus

    Overall the game was great however the seats are very narrow, I'm not big by any standard and it was a tight fit and uncomfortable at Nationwide arena. There are lots of restaurants in the arena district to choose from.
