Although the Blue Jackets' preseason schedule was announced, the NHL officially released the full preseason schedule for the rest of the league.

There's nothing like preempting the season by playing division rivals in the preseason. 

The CBJ will play both the Washington Capitals and Pittsburgh Penguins twice. They'll play the Pens on back-to-back nights to end the preseason, which will be home-and-home. 

And who could forget the Jackets' number-one rival, the Buffalo Sabres. 

The CBJ will also play old Central Division rival St. Louis Blues.

There are 66 days until opening night.
