Blue Jackets Host Kings in NHL Matchup

The Columbus Blue Jackets host the Los Angeles Kings at Nationwide Arena in an NHL regular-season matchup pairing an Eastern Conference club against a Western Conference opponent with two Stanley Cup titles of its own, won in 2012 and 2014. The Blue Jackets, based in downtown Columbus since 2000, play in front of one of the league's more energetic home crowds and have delivered playoff upsets in franchise history, most notably a 2019 sweep of the top-seeded Tampa Bay Lightning. Nationwide Arena, part of the city's Arena District, has been the team's home rink since its inaugural NHL season. For Columbus hockey fans, the visit offers a chance to see a well-traveled, championship-pedigreed Kings roster on home ice.
