February won't be boring if you plan to watch the Olympics.
It's February, the month we've all been waiting for - sort of. Ok, not really, especially if you're a fan of NHL Hockey. But the Olympics will be happening, so at least we'll have hockey.
Let's take a look at what coming up for both the CBJ, and their players who will represent their country.
The Columbus Blue Jackets only have four games scheduled for the month of February.
- February 3rd - Away against New Jersey
- February 4th - Home against Chicago
- February 26th - Away against Boston
- February 28th - Home against the New York Islanders
The Jackets also have two players representing their countries in Milan, Italy, for this year's Olympic Games. Zach Werenski will help power the United States, and Elvis Merzļikins will wear the maroon and white for Latvia.
Check out the preliminary round schedule for both teams below. *All times Eastern Standard Time (EST)*
All games stream live on Peacock; USA Network is televising preliminary round games, with playoff round TBD
