The Columbus Blue Jackets head to Winnipeg to face off against the Jets for the first time this season. The CBJ are entering the great north with three straight wins.

The Columbus Blue Jackets are going to Winnipeg for their first and final visit of the season. This will be just the Jackets’ fifth time visiting Winnipeg since the Jets returned from Atlanta. The teams have split their previous four WPG meetings.

With so few meetings, these two teams are not going to have that familiar feel, so this matchup will quite different from a divisional game. Nonetheless, the Jets and Jackets are two franchises on the rise that will face off in an exciting dual of youth and skill.
