The 2016–17 Columbus Blue Jackets season was the 17th season for the National Hockey League franchise that was established on June 25, 1997.^[1] This season marked the first time the Blue Jackets were in the Stanley Cup playoffs since the 2013–14 season.

Off-season

Regular season

The Blue Jackets finished October with a record of 3 wins, 3 regulation losses and an overtime loss, but in November they won 9, lost 2 in regulation and 3 in overtime. On November 29, 2016, the team began a winning streak that ran to 16 consecutive games, including a perfect 14-0-0 record in December, but ended on January 3, 2017 with a loss to the Washington Capitals. The 16 game winning streak was one short of the NHL record 17 games, set by the 1992–93 Pittsburgh Penguins.^[2]
