2013-2014 Game Coverage

The Jackets proved many things to themselves, the Penguins, and their collective doubters. Now, they return home to Nationwide Arena with a chance to take another step toward playoff glory.

The Blue Jackets have one more chance to extend the series tonight. Win, or go home.

Game Four gives Columbus a chance to again answer and even the series. But, to do it, they need to have put Monday's game out of their heads.

The Blue Jackets went 0-5-0 against the Penguins in the regular season. Which matters exactly nada for this series. Hopefully.

The Blue Jackets made a good showing in Game 1, but came up short. Time to take the lessons learned and put them into action, with the goal of earning a split before returning home to the friendly confines of Nationwide Arena.

The Jackets are still alive for any of the three possible playoffs spots, provided Philly continues to struggle and, well, provided the Jackets can beat the lowly Panthers.

The Blue Jackets did what they had to do early in the week, nailing down a playoff spot. Now, with two games to go, there's still some work to be done if they have designs on moving up in the seedings.

The Jackets end their home slate tonight as the Coyotes come to town. Two points would put Columbus ever so close to clinching the right to have at least two more games at NWA.

The Jackets had some swagger on Thursday night. They hung in against a good team on Friday, only to have their souls stolen Shang-Tsung style on Friday. No time for sulking; they need to get the swagger back tonight against the Islanders.
