VIDEO: Blue Jackets give fans jerseys off backs in home finale
Greg Bartram / USA TODAY Sports
The Columbus Blue Jackets are certainly disappointed with a season that came with big preseason expectations, but was spurned by injuries. The last home game of their season was held on Friday and resulted in a 4-2 win over the Buffalo Sabres.
The squad who missed the playoffs, however, is in the midst of closing out the season on a high note.
The Jackets have gone 15-4-1 since the beginning of March and they wanted to show their adoring fans how jolly they are by giving them the jerseys off their backs in a postgame ceremony after Friday's win.

The Blue Jackets close out the season Saturday on the road against the New York Islanders.
