How will the rising salary cap effect the NHL?

Columbus Blue Jackets Hot Streak
The Blue Jackets have won nine in a row, led by the strong play of forward Artemi Panarin and defenceman Seth Jones. What is going right for the Jackets, and what does this mean for the team? Can they ride the play into a first playoff series win?
College Playoffs
