The Columbus Blue Jackets announced today game-night events and expanded broadcast coverage during Round Two of the 2019 Blue Jackets Stanley Cup Playoffs, presented by AEP, Huntington, OhioHealth and Vector Security. The Jackets open their Eastern Conference Semifinal series against the Boston Bruins tonight at 7 p.m. at TD Garden in Boston.

CBJ Playoff Watch Parties presented by White Claw Hard Seltzer (road games) - For each road game during this round, parties will take place simultaneously at PINS Mechanical flagship in downtown Columbus (141 N. Fourth Street, Columbus OH 43215) and its suburban location in Dublin (6558 Riverside Drive, Dublin OH 43017). The parties start half hour before game time and will feature CBJ personalities, a DJ, prize giveaways and photo opportunities.
Expanded Plaza Parties (home games) - Round Two plaza parties in front of Nationwide Arena will be enhanced by the addition of two 9' x 15' screens that will show the game broadcast for fans who want to enjoy the playoff atmosphere in the Arena District. The pre-game portion of the party will feature music, interactive games and roaming entertainers stretching from Battelle Plaza through the District.
On the plaza, Sports Radio 97.1 The Fan's Common Man & T-Bone will broadcast live from 3-6 p.m. each game of the round. There will also be beer trucks, food items and bottled water available for purchase. Parties begin three hours before puck drop and game tickets are not required to attend.
