The Columbus Blue Jackets' YouTube documentary series "Behind the Battle" takes fans behind the scenes and gives them a deeper look into the club.
The first two installments of the series detail the club's busy offseason.
The first episode, "Hungry & Relentless" takes a look at how the Blue Jackets retooled ahead of the 2021-22 season under the leadership of the new President of Hockey Operations, John Davidson.
The second episode, "The Reload" details how the club navigated free agency as the new season quickly approached.
The third episode of the series was released Wednesday night.
"New Beginnings" revisits the start of the season and the emotional season opener when the Blue Jackets honored goalie Matiss Kivlenieks who was killed in a tragic fireworks accident on July 4.
Prior to the start of the season opener, members of Kivlenieks' family, including his mother, stepfather, sister, and aunt participated in a ceremonial puck drop. A banner featuring his No. 80 was unveiled and will stay in the rafters of Nationwide Arena for the entire season.
On an emotional night, the Blue Jackets blew out the Arizona Coyotes 8-2 to start the season.
One of the stars of that game was goalie Elvis Merzlikins who saved 36 shots while wearing Kivlenieks' No. 80.
In the third episode of Behind the Battle, Merzlikins said that game was "his most important night."
