The 2012–13 Columbus Blue Jackets season was the 13th season for the National Hockey League franchise that was established on June 25, 1997. The regular season was reduced from its usual 82 games to 48 due to a lockout.
Despite a big improvement, the Blue Jackets failed to qualify for the Stanley Cup playoffs .
On February 12, 2013, the Blue Jackets relieved General Manager Scott Howson of his duties after years of disappointing hockey in Columbus. On February 13, Jarmo Kekalainen was hired as the new GM. With his hiring, Kekalainen became the first European GM in NHL history. The team picked up steam after the change at general manager, going 20–10–5 to end the season just narrowly missing out on a playoff spot.
