The Columbus Blue Jackets are suddenly in the driver’s seat in the Eastern Conference playoff race.
On this episode we break down Columbus’ incredible 7-0-3 run over their last 10 games and how they’ve managed to climb into a playoff position despite a tough schedule.
We also take a closer look at one of the biggest storylines across the league right now — goalie uncertainty heading into the playoffs. From Edmonton to Colorado, Montreal to Vegas and Pittsburgh, there are major questions between the pipes for several contenders.
Plus, we dive into:
• The Blue Jackets’ recent surge and what’s driving their success
• Key goalie situations to watch as the playoffs approach
• Young goalies making an impact around the NHL
• Top prospects like Cole Eiserman turning pro
• Early discussion around the 2026 NHL Draft class
