NHL Releases Full 2017-18 Columbus Blue Jackets Schedule
Find out when the Blue Jackets play this year!
Today, the NHL released the full schedule for the upcoming 2017-18 season. It was already known that the Columbus Blue Jackets home opener would be on October 6, 2017 against the New York Islanders. Now we know the rest of the schedule.
The schedule was released during an hour long special on the NHL Network.
The Blue Jackets will once again compete in a blood bath division that has the defending Stanley Cup champions, the defending President’s Trophy winners, the improving Islanders, and several other stiff tests.
#CBJ has a relatively easy sked to start -- nine of first 14 games vs. Non-playoff qualifiers from last season.

The team opens the season with the home opener on October 6 and closes the season on April 7 in Nashville.
