Columbus Blue Jackets February 2019 Schedule Breakdown
Week Four: February 25th-28th
The month closes out with two very important home games against divisional opponents that will be completely overshadowed by the trade deadline. The last week in February could see the Jackets sending off both Artemi Panarin and Sergei Bobrovsky, or they could add a key piece to make a run for a Stanley Cup.
The team will still have to lace ’em up for two huge games at home that will go a long way toward determining where the Jackets finish in the Metro standings.
On Tuesday February 26th, the Jackets will host the Pittsburgh Penguins for the first time all season. That could be a somber night as the team could trade both Russian superstars just hours before puck drop.
Two nights later the Jackets host the Philadelphia Flyers. Another big metro matchup that is tough to predict because of movement that could happen by the front office. Not a great two teams to have to play in a week that holds so much uncertainty.
I don’t like the way the schedule lays out for the Jackets on the back end of this month.
Week Four Prediction: 0-1-1
The month is tough for the CBJ from with the travel, quality of opponents, and the trade deadline looming over this squad. I have the team going 4-4-5 this month.

It wouldn’t be the end of the world but it would likely put them in third or fourth in the division. Much like last year, the Jackets will be looking for a big March to secure a playoff spot in 2019.
