Nick Foligno served as captain of the Blue Jackets for six of the nine seasons he played in Columbus.
With the Bruins getting prepared to visit the Jackets on Saturday night, Foligno will be returning to the building in which he played the most games throughout his career.
While that's sure to bring back some emotional memories for the 34-year-old, you can bet that he'll once again be bringing his hard-nosed style of play to Nationwide Arena.
Foligno is five games away from suiting in the 1000th game of his career. He spent 599 of those wearing the Blue Jackets crest, in what has turned out to be a tremendous career for the Buffalo native.
The left winger made tons of highlight-reel plays during his time in Columbus:
