FAQs: Maple Leafs vs Blue Jackets

How can I watch Maple Leafs vs. Blue Jackets in the U.S.?

The NHL’s schedule lists CBJNHL and CBJHN for the game, and the matchup is listed for 7 p.m. ET. A 2026–27 TV guide also lists NHL Power Play on ESPN+ and says Blue Jackets Hockey Network games stream on Prime Video in-market; access can depend on location, so those listings don’t guarantee the same option everywhere. The NHL schedule does not name a national network or confirm subscription or blackout terms.

What time does the game start?

Puck drop is scheduled for Tuesday, October 20, at 7 p.m. Eastern. That’s 6 p.m. Central, 5 p.m. Mountain and 4 p.m. Pacific, making it an evening start in Columbus and an earlier watch for fans on the West Coast.

Where is the game, and which team is at home?

The Blue Jackets host the Maple Leafs at Nationwide Arena in Columbus. Toronto is the visiting team, and Columbus’s schedule identifies this as one of its single home meetings against an Atlantic Division opponent during the regular season.

What kind of game is this in the 2026–27 season?

This is a regular-season game, not a playoff matchup. Columbus’s 2026–27 schedule is an 84-game slate with 42 home dates, so this is one of the home games on the Blue Jackets’ schedule; the team’s announcement also notes that the 84-game format is new for the club.

Is there confirmed lineup or injury news for this matchup?

No confirmed starting-lineup or player-availability report is established in the available event information. The matchup page displays roster and injury sections, but those live figures aren’t independently confirmed lineup news, so they shouldn’t be treated as a reliable indication of who will play.
