Columbus Blue Jackets faced the Pittsburgh Penguins in a preseason game on September 24, 2026 at Nationwide Arena, Columbus, Ohio. The Penguins, featuring a bare bones roster with most of their veterans saved for the exhibition finale, won 4-0 against the Blue Jackets. Pittsburgh dominated the game, generating 16 shots in total, compared to the Blue Jackets' 15.
The Blue Jackets' goalie, Sergei Murashov, made 13 saves on 16 shots, but the team overall put up a lackluster performance. The Blue Jackets' top line might make up most/all the fourth line in the regular season, while other players were preparing to head to the NHL roster. The game's highlights were disappointing, with no standout moments.
Overall, it was a disappointing game for the Blue Jackets, showcasing a lackluster performance against a heavily favored Pittsburgh team.
