January is going to be a struggle for Columbus Blue Jackets fans. 10 games in 31 days. Woof. Out of those 10 games there will only be four games at home for fans to enjoy. Add on top that both Ohio NFL teams and the Buckeyes will be done by early January and it’s going to be a long month for fans.
Not to say that it will be a difficult month in terms of opponents. Eight of the 10 teams the Jackets will play did not make the playoffs last season. The two playoff teams they will face were both bounced in the first round.
