The team's final position in the standings was hampered by a slow start that resulted from losing a number of key players, including goals leader Rick Nash, to injury. Once these players returned to the roster, the team had one of the strongest second halves in the NHL. Despite the strong finish, the Blue Jackets finished outside of the playoffs for the fifth consecutive season. However, the strong finish did lead to raised expectations for the 2006–07 season. Regular season Prior to the start of the season the team announced Luke Richardson would remain team captain and Adam Foote, Rick Nash, and David Vyborny would serve as alternate captains on a rotating basis.Columbus Blue Jackets Name Team Captains For 2005-06 Season https://www.nhl.com/bluejackets/news/columbus-blue-jackets-name-team-captains-for-2005-06-season-br-span-class-txt14strg-richardson-returns-as-captain-nash-foote-and-vyborny-are-alternates-span-br/c-477627 NHL.com December 10, 2023 https://web.archive.org/web/20220704001936/https://www.nhl.com/bluejackets/news/columbus-blue-jackets-name-team-captains-for-2005-06-season-br-span-class-txt14strg-richardson-returns-as-captain-nash-foote-and-vyborny-are-alternates-span-br/c-477627 July 4, 2022 October 4, 2005 Richardson resigned the captaincy after being a healthy scratch for Columbus’ November 25 game against the Colorado Avalanche.Richardson removes 'C' from Blue Jackets sweater https://www.espn.com/nhl/news/story?id=2240399 ESPN.com July 4, 2022 November 29, 2005 Foote was named the team’s new captain on December 6.Blue Jackets Name Veteran Defenseman Adam Foote Team Captain https://www.nhl.com/bluejackets/news/blue-jackets-name-veteran-defenseman-adam-foote-team-captain-br-span-class-txt14strg-newly-acquired-sergei-fedorov-joins-rick-nash-and-david-vyborny-as-clubs-alternate-captains-span-br/c-477724 NHL.com December 10, 2023 https://web.archive.org/web/20220704001935/https://www.nhl.com/bluejackets/news/blue-jackets-name-veteran-defenseman-adam-foote-team-captain-br-span-class-txt14strg-newly-acquired-sergei-fedorov-joins-rick-nash-and-david-vyborny-as-clubs-alternate-captains-span-br/c-477724 July 4, 2022 December 5, 2005 Season standings CLB CBJ Schedule and results background:#fff;
