For the first time in almost six months, the Columbus Blue Jackets will play a regular season game at Nationwide Arena. Tonight, they host Metropolitan Division a rival: the New Jersey Devils.
It's been 179 games since the final horn sounded on last year's CBJ team. In what became a meaningless game after the Montreal Canadiens locked up the final playoff spot, the Jackets smacked the New York Islanders by a final of 6-1 in their regular season finale.
Tonight, they will take the ice against yet another strong team to start their new season. Only this time, they will have the power of the 5th Line behind them.
