Columbus Blue Jackets fans in Charlotte, NC, are in luck! As Charlotte is considered an out-of-market region for the Blue Jackets, you will not face any local blackout restrictions when trying to stream their games. This means you have several excellent options to catch every slap shot and goal. The most comprehensive way to watch all out-of-market Blue Jackets games is through an ESPN+ subscription, which provides access to hundreds of NHL games throughout the season, free from blackouts in your area. Additionally, nationally televised games on TNT can be streamed via Max (with the Bleacher Report add-on) or through live TV streaming services that include TNT.
