Jackets-Kings Puck Drop Set for 4 p.m. March 9

Columbus locks in a 4 p.m. ET start for their rescheduled clash with the Kings at Nationwide Arena on March 9, makeup from that brutal January snowstorm that dumped over 11 inches on the city. The Blue Jackets ride back from the Olympic pause with the league's longest active winning streak at seven under new bench boss Rick Bowness, while LA looks to exploit any post-break rust. This afternoon tilt could jolt the playoff race in a crowded Pacific and Metro.
