Columbus certainly should be comfortable on home ice as the seven road games played by the Blue Jackets are the fewest in the league. However, they are 0-2-1 in the last three games at home. The hope for Columbus is that momentum off a win in Winnipeg will carry over into this game. Five of the last six games between the teams had at least seven…

ELMONT, N.Y. - The Blue Jackets were short seven regulars, including their top defense pairing, and five of them began the season in the American Hockey League.

They're trailing the Washington Capitals by 10 points for the final wildcard spot in the Eastern Conference, a gap that's likely too wide to overcome, but the Jackets…

Nick Blankenburg's celebration said it all. Six games into his NHL career, the rookie defenseman has steadily moved up the Blue Jackets' lineup, and in Sunday's game against the Edmonton Oilers he found himself running the top power-play unit midway through the third period.

SUNRISE - The Florida Panthers held a spirited practice at FLA Live Arena on Wednesday morning, a day after suffering a rare loss on home ice.
