Blue Jackets vs Penguins

Rival Team: Pittsburgh Penguins

The Blue Jackets and Penguins don’t have a particularly strong rivalry, however, with the Jackets move to the Eastern Conference things have intensified between these two Metropolitan Division teams. The two teams met in the 2014 Stanley Cup Playoffs, and you’ll find lots of Pens fans at Jackets games, which has helped sparked the flames in this budding rivalry. Get your tickets for Jackets-Penguins if you want to witness some intense hockey action at Nationwide Arena.
