Columbus Blue Jackets vs. Los Angeles Kings game postponed to March

A scheduled match between the Columbus Blue Jackets And Los Angeles Kings on Jan. 26 at Nationwide Arena has been postponed.

It will be made up on March 9 and tickets purchased for the January 26 match will remain valid. A major winter storm that blanketed central Ohio and its roads with snow was cited for the decision. The Blue Jackets held a morning practice at Nationwide Arena as usual, but the decision to postpone the game was made after it concluded.

The Kings’ last game ended in a 5-4 shootout victory on January 24 St. Louis Bluesbut they arrived in Columbus in time to face the Blue Jackets.

In fact, the Kings turned what would have been a morning practice into a full practice after the decision was made to postpone the game.

The start time for the March 9 make-up game has not yet been determined, but playing on that date now gives both teams an additional set of consecutive games to play. The Blue Jackets will host the Kings, then fly to Florida after the game to conclude their new back-to-back on March 10 at Tampa Bay Lightningwhile the Kings will fly to Boston for a back-to-back final against the Bruins.

The Blue Jackets will now play four games in six days, including the last three on the road, while the Kings will have a five-game road trip, rather than four.
