Dispatch Family Value Pack: Blue Jackets vs. Penguins

An NHL matchup brings the Columbus Blue Jackets to Nationwide Arena to face the Pittsburgh Penguins. The Jackets have called the downtown Columbus arena home since it opened, the same year the franchise joined the league. The team's Blue Jackets name and Civil War-inspired logos celebrate Ohio's place in American history, adding local character to the game.

Hockey fans can expect a lively evening of professional play from a club that has grown steadily over its seasons, reaching the Stanley Cup playoffs for the first time and later winning its first playoff series. The arena sits in the heart of downtown, so the game is easy to build around. With the Penguins in town, this is a chance to catch a competitive NHL matchup in a venue that anchors Columbus.
