Blue Jackets punch postseason ticket with point against Penguins
With their one point earned against the Pittsburgh Penguins on Thursday night, the Columbus Blue Jackets are heading to the Stanley Cup Playoffs for the fourth time in franchise history.
The Blue Jackets become the fourth Metropolitan Division team to clinch a postseason berth, joining the Washington Capitals, Pittsburgh Penguins, and most recently the New Jersey Devils, who clinched their spot with a victory over the Toronto Maple Leafs earlier in the night.
That cannon is going to keep firing.
