The Columbus Blue Jackets
Player to Watch
Dylan Cozens
Dylan Cozens has come on strongly of late, with 5 points in his last 5 games. Cozens has posted 11-23-34 in 53 games this season but is the hottest Buffalo player of late. Buffalo is 3-2 in those last 5 games as Cozens has begun heating up – can Columbus keep Cozens off the scoresheet?
Jackets Notes
The Jackets made a trade last night – the first move of the interim GM John Davidson era is in, and it’s a trade of Emil Bemstrom to the Pittsburgh Penguins
Deleted earlier tweet about 2026 conditional pick. Now have details …
If Emil Bemstrom scores six goals the rest of this season with Pittsburgh, the sixth-round pick in 2026 becomes a third-round pick.#CBJ think Nylander can play. But the pick was a big part of this.
