The Blue Jackets may be on their All-Star break, but their prospects are not.
Gavin Brindley, whom the Blue Jackets selected with the No. 34 overall pick in the 2023 Draft, will be in Columbus this weekend as his No. 12 Michigan Wolverines (12-9-3, 5-7-2-0-1-1 B1G) play the Ohio State Buckeyes (9-13-4, 1-13-2-0-0-2 B1G) in a two-game series.

The rivals will play at The Schottenstein Center on Friday at 7 p.m. ET and on Saturday at 8 p.m. ET.
Michigan boasts the best offense in the Big Ten, scoring 4.71 goals per game and Brindley is tied for fourth in the conference in goals with 15 and seventh in points with 30.

The Buckeyes have struggled this season, but when there's a rivalry, throw the records out.
It should be a fun matchup where one of the Blue Jackets' top prospects plays in his future home for the first time since he was drafted.
