2 Days Until Opening Night: The History Of Jersey #2

As the Columbus Blue Jackets countdown the final forty-eight hours to their season opener, a retrospective highlights the six players who have worn the number two sweater over the years. Anders Eriksson initially joined the franchise in 2006, skating in 145 contests before finishing his career overseas, while Kris Russell followed by logging nearly three hundred appearances prior to an eventual trade involving Nikita Nikitin.

Short stints from Nate Guenin and Radek Martínek preceded Andrew Bodnarchuk wearing the jersey in 2016 ahead of his eventual departure to play in Germany. Most recently, Andrew Peeke held the number from 2020 until his departure to the Boston Bruins in early 2024.
