The Detroit Red Wings visit the Columbus Blue Jackets on April 3 for the third meeting between the two teams. On April 5, the Blue Jackets will play their final game at Nationwide Arena in 2017-18 against the Pittsburgh Penguins.
After this game, the Jackets will head to Tennessee and face the Nashville Predators. Hopefully then, the focus will shift to the first round of the playoffs.
Potential round one matchups
Due to the current NHL playoff format, the Columbus Blue Jackets will most likely play a team from the Metro in round one if they make the playoffs.
