We are just about two months away from the start of the Columbus Blue Jackets season. With football here soon to distract us for the remaining days until hockey returns. The Jackets October should be a favorable month to open up the season.
The Jackets play 12 games in 22 days in the month of October. Only five of which will be match ups against playoff teams from 2017. The Jackets need to take advantage of an easy opening month of games.
The stretch is highlighted by four games at home over nine days. Every single game against teams that missed the playoffs.
