Before playing the Maple Leafs, Columbus will first get an opportunity to do battle with an opposing team when it goes against the Boston Bruins in an exhibition game on July 30. It'll begin at 7 p.m. and will be the only opportunity the Blue Jackets have to face anybody else before taking on Toronto.
The television broadcast information for the exhibition game has not yet been announced.
