Blue Jackets game #1 preview, time to flip the script in Nashville
The Blue Jackets celebrate a goal in Nashville last season. | Casey Gower-Imagn ImagesThe 2025-26 season has finally arrived. The Blue Jackets will get things started tonight in Nashville, taking on the Predators in their first game of the regular season.
It should be noted: this is probably the worst possible place for them to start their season. In their 25 year existence, the Jackets have not done much partying in Nashville.
