The 2010–11 Columbus Blue Jackets season was the 11th season for the National Hockey League franchise that was established on June 25, 1997.^[1]

The Blue Jackets posted a regular season record of 34 wins, 35 losses, and 13 overtime/shootout losses for 81 points, failing to qualify for the Stanley Cup playoffs for the second consecutive season.

Off-season

On June 8, 2010, the Blue Jackets announced their new head coach, Scott Arniel, who was previously the head coach of the Manitoba Moose of the American Hockey League (AHL).^[2]

On June 17, the Blue Jackets announced their 2010 pre-season schedule. The team will play nine games during the pre-season, including one against a Swedish team, Malmo Redhawks. The game was originally to feature a combined squad featuring players from Malmo and Rogle BK, but these plans fell through as the archrival clubs did not feel that they could compete as a unit.^[3]
