Get excited.
While a playoff position is not yet clinched, the Columbus Blue Jackets are all but a shoo-in to qualify for this year's postseason. Stanley Cup fever has already hit downtown Columbus:

It will mark the Blue Jackets' first trip to the playoffs since 2014 and just the third postseason berth in franchise history. Columbus joined the NHL in 2000.
The Blue Jackets have been one of the league's hottest teams this season and own the East's third-best record with 92 points through 67 games.
Earlier this season, the Blue Jackets ran a 16-game win streak, one victory shy of the NHL record set by the Pittsburgh Penguins in 1993.
