The Columbus Blue Jackets made the playoffs this season for just the third time in franchise history. The team may have fallen to the Pittsburgh Penguins in 5 games, but there was valuable experience gained for many members of the team, including rookies Zach Werenski and Oliver Bjorkstrand.
Next season, the Blue Jackets will look to take that experience and use it to take another step forward for the franchise: winning a playoff series. With time off this spring, however, the team can learn some lessons from each team remaining in the playoffs on how to succeed in the postseason.
