The Blue Jackets moved into the [[Metropolitan Division]] of the Eastern Conference in the [[2013–14 NHL season|2013–14 season]] after spending its first 13 seasons in the Central Division of the Western Conference. The other teams in the Metropolitan Division consist of the [[Carolina Hurricanes]], [[New Jersey Devils]], [[New York Islanders]], [[New York Rangers]], [[Philadelphia Flyers]], [[Pittsburgh Penguins]] and [[Washington Capitals]], the latter six of which once composed the old [[Patrick Division]].<ref>{{cite web|url=http://www.nhl.com/ice/news.htm?id=660138#&navid=nhl-keymatch|title=Realignment plan approved by Board of Governors|access-date=June 20, 2013|archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20130705141245/http://www.nhl.com/ice/news.htm?id=660138#&navid=nhl-keymatch|archive-date=July 5, 2013|url-status=live}}</ref><ref>{{cite web|url=http://bluejackets.nhl.com/index.html|title=Official Columbus Blue Jackets Website|access-date=March 8, 2013|archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20130202150252/http://bluejackets.nhl.com/index.html|archive-date=February 2, 2013|url-status=dead}}</ref> On April 9, 2014, the Blue Jackets clinched their second playoff spot in franchise history by winning a 3–1 game against the [[Dallas Stars]]. This game was also noted for being a game resumed after being postponed on March 10, 2014, due to [[Rich Peverley]]'s cardiac event in which the Blue Jackets led 1–0. The NHL decided to keep the goal scored by [[Nathan Horton]] and resumed the game with a full 60 minutes. Nathan Horton made history by being credited for scoring a goal while not suiting up for the game.<ref>{{cite web|url=http://nesn.com/2014/04/nathan-horton-could-make-nhl-history-by-not-playing-against-stars/|title=Nathan Horton Could Make NHL History By Not Playing Against Stars|date=April 8, 2014|access-date=April 10, 2014|archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20140410093332/http://nesn.com/2014/04/nathan-horton-could-make-nhl-history-by-not-playing-against-stars/|archive-date=April 10, 2014|url-status=dead}}</ref>

The Blue Jackets faced the [[Pittsburgh Penguins]] in the first round of the [[2014 Stanley Cup playoffs]]. This series had a trend that was noted for making 3–1 leads end up as 4–3 loss. Games 1 and 2 were at the [[Consol Energy Center]] in downtown [[Pittsburgh]]. The Blue Jackets made a large jump in history when [[Jack Johnson (ice hockey)|Jack Johnson]] scored the first goal of the game. This was the first time in franchise history that Columbus ever led a postseason game. The Jackets lead the game 3–1 at one point from goals by [[Mark Letestu]] and [[Derek MacKenzie]]. However, the Penguins rallied to win it 4–3. Game 2 was the opposite. Pittsburgh led 3–1 at one point, but Columbus rallied to win game 2 4–3 by an overtime goal from [[Matt Calvert]]. This was the first playoff victory in franchise history. Pittsburgh won game 3 by a score of 4–3. Game 4 was a memorable night at [[Nationwide Arena]]. Columbus was down 3–0, and 3–1 by the end of the first period. [[Boone Jenner]] and [[Ryan Johansen]] scored to make it 3–2 by the end of the second period. [[Brandon Dubinsky]] scored the game-tying goal with 22.5 seconds left in regulation, after a miss-play with the puck by [[Marc-André Fleury|Marc-Andre Fleury]]. [[Nick Foligno]] went on to score the game-winning goal in overtime. In the locker room during intermission, he supposedly told the team that he will score the game-winner. Pittsburgh, however, went on to win the next two games and took the best-of-seven series in six games.

The [[2014–15 NHL season|2014–15 season]] was most notable for the number of injuries the Jackets incurred. The Jackets lead the league in man-games lost with 502. At one point, the injured reserve list consisted of 15 players, including stars [[Sergei Bobrovsky]], [[Brandon Dubinsky]], [[Jack Johnson (ice hockey)|Jack Johnson]], and [[Ryan Murray]]. When the team's injured players began to return in late February, they were able to accumulate wins the way they had the previous two seasons and in the process, set a franchise record earning nine consecutive wins. However, the Blue Jackets still finished fifth in the Metropolitan Division and missed the playoffs by nine points despite a 42–35–5 record. On May 20, 2015, [[Nick Foligno]] was named the sixth captain in team history. The position had been vacant since Rick Nash was traded to the New York Rangers in July 2012. On June 30, 2015, the Jackets traded centers [[Marko Daňo|Marko Dano]] and [[Artem Anisimov]], along with wingers [[Jeremy Morin]] and [[Corey Tropp]], to the [[Chicago Blackhawks]] in exchange for [[Brandon Saad]]. This move was the subject of much controversy in Chicago since Blackhawks general manager Stan Bowman had publicly said that Saad was going to be a part of the organization for many years to come. The Jackets also acquired [[Michael Paliotta]] and [[Alex Broadhurst]] in the trade. The Jackets signed center [[Gregory Campbell (ice hockey)|Gregory Campbell]] from the [[Boston Bruins]] a few days later.
