As the NHL season begins to wind down, the top teams in the standings are starting to punch their ticket to the 2025 Stanley Cup Playoffs.
For the Columbus Blue Jackets, the path is still uncertain. With just eight games remaining, they sit four points back of the final wild card spot in the Eastern Conference.
The road ahead won’t be easy. The Blue Jackets have a tough schedule to close out the regular season, with key games against teams like the Toronto Maple Leafs, Ottawa Senators, and Washington Capitals.
Blue Jackets Remaining Schedule:
- Saturday, April 5: vs. Toronto Maple Leafs
- Sunday, April 6: vs. Ottawa Senators
- Tuesday, April 8: vs. Ottawa Senators
- Thursday, April 10: vs. Buffalo Sabres
- Saturday, April 12: vs. Washington Capitals
- Sunday, April 13: vs. Washington Capitals
- Tuesday, April 15: vs. Philadelphia Flyers
- Thursday, April 17: at New York Islanders
They’ll need to pick up points fast and string together wins if they want to catch the Montreal Canadiens in the standings. That push begins Saturday in Toronto.
