National Hockey League season.
The 2012–13 Columbus Blue Jackets season was the 13th season for the National Hockey League (NHL) franchise that was established on June 25, 1997.[2] The regular season was reduced from its usual 82 games to 48 due to a lockout .
Despite a big improvement, the Blue Jackets failed to qualify for the Stanley Cup playoffs .

Regular season [ ]
On February 12, 2013, the Blue Jackets fired general manager Scott Howson after years of disappointing hockey in Columbus.[3] On February 13, Jarmo Kekalainen was hired as his replacement.[4] With his hiring, Kekalainen became the first European GM in NHL history.[5] The team picked up steam after the change at general manager, going 20–10–5 to end the season just narrowly missing out on a playoff spot.
