Columbus Blue Jackets game vs Los Angeles Kings postponed until March
A scheduled game between the Columbus Blue Jackets and Los Angeles Kings on Jan. 26 at Nationwide Arena has been postponed.
It will be made up March 9, and tickets purchased for the Jan. 26 game will remain valid. A large winter storm that covered Central Ohio and its roads with snow was cited for the decision. The Blue Jackets held a morning skate at Nationwide Arena, as usual, but the decision to postpone the game was made after it concluded.
The Kings' last game was a 5-4 shootout win Jan. 24 at the St. Louis Blues, but they made it to Columbus in plenty of time to face the Blue Jackets.

In fact, the Kings turned what would have been a morning skate into a full practice after the decision was made to postpone the game.
The start time for the March 9 makeup game hasn't been determined yet, but playing on that date now gives both teams an extra set of back-to-back games to play. The Blue Jackets will host the Kings and then fly to Florida after the game to conclude their new back-to-back March 10 at the Tampa Bay Lightning, while the Kings will fly to Boston for a back-to-back finale against the Bruins.
The Blue Jackets will now play four games in six days, including the last three on the road, while the Kings have a five-game road trip, rather than four.
