The Columbus Blue Jackets have agreed to extend head coach Rick Bowness, with the announcement expected later today. This decision comes shortly after a disappointing season finale, where Bowness criticized the team’s lack of effort following a 2-1 loss to the Capitals. After a mid-season coaching change, Bowness initially led the team to an impressive 19-3-4 record, but they faltered down the stretch, finishing just short of playoff contention. The Blue Jackets ended the season with a 40-30-12 record, missing the playoffs by six points.
