During the regular season, the Columbus Blue Jackets and Pittsburgh Penguins split their four-game season series. The teams battled each other on the ice and in the standings all year so it’s only fitting that they will face each other to start the playoffs.
The Penguins will begin at home due to edging out Columbus by three points. If you’re unfamiliar, the first two games will take place in Pittsburgh. Then the teams will come back to Columbus for the next two games. If the Jackets haven’t swept the Pens by then, they’ll go back to Pittsburgh for game five.
