The Cannon Staff predicts the 2025-26 NHL Season

The NHL season is underway, and so we must make our annual tradition of putting predictions on paper that will inevitably make us look stupid in a year’s time. Let’s get to it! Here’s how we did last season Best: Three of us picked Edmonton returning to the Cup Final! Cale Makar was an easy choice for the Norris. Of course San Jose and Chicago would still be bad! Worst: Dale…

Recap #1: Jackets stymied by Saros and penalties

Last season, the Columbus Blue Jackets struggled on the road, with a record of just 14-23-4. They start this season with two games on the road, beginning tonight in Bridgestone Arena, where the franchise had won just 9 times in the first 24 seasons. The Jackets came out stronger and faster, but the Nashville Predators drew first blood with a Michael Bunting goal. It featured a turnover…

Recap #2: Marchenko leads sloppy to Jackets to big road win

Coming off of a frustrating 2-1 loss in Nashville on Thursday, the Columbus Blue Jackets spoiled the home opener for expansion cousins Minnesota with a wild (pun intended, but regretted) 7-4 victory. Here were the keys to the game: Kirill Marchenko was buzzing in the opener, recording eight shots on goal against the Predators. He only had half that tonight, but three of them found the…

Recap #3: Special Teams Doom Jackets in Season Opener

Fresh off a high scoring and undisciplined evening in Minnesota, the Blue Jackets took to the ice at home for the first time this season to face a worthy foe in the New Jersey Devils. Jake Christiansen drew in for an injured Gudbranson and Jet Greaves got the crease. The top line continued to buzz early with Marchenko getting a clean look on Allen to start the contest. The CBJ got an…

Recap #4: Jackets could have used vintage Atkinson tonight

The highlight of the night was former Blue Jacket Cam Atkinson signing a one-day contract to retire as a member of the Union Blue, followed by taking one last lap in uniform around the Nationwide Arena ice during the pregame. The game that followed was…ooof. Colorado largely controlled play for the first period, but weren’t able to get anything past Elvis Merzlikins.

Recap #6: Elvis, Special Teams Star in Dallas

Kicking off a road trip in Dallas, could the Jackets get a win against one of the Western Conference favorites? Good pace to start the contest and the Jackets struck first when the new old second line recovered the puck in the offensive zone on the forecheck. KJ drew two defenders to the wall before hitting Jenner down low, who found Fantilli in the vacated space in near the dot.

Recap #10: Third Line shows up, does to Toronto what LA can’t

We all know that the first line of Dmitri Voronkov – Sean Monahan – Kirill Marchenko is one of the best in the league. The new fourth line of Miles Wood – Isac Lundestrom – Yegor Chinakhov won the game in Buffalo on Tuesday. The third line, consisting of Charlie Coyle, Cole Sillinger, and Mathieu Olivier, had been relatively quiet so far. Well, tonight ended that. While all of Ontario (and…
