Two Columbus Blue Jackets had a larger than life night on Wednesday.
Jack Roslovic and Sean Kuraly played softball with the Backstreet Boys at Dave & Jimmy's Celebrity Softball Classic. Blue Jackets announcer Jean-Luc Grand-Pierre also participated in the event.

The charity event, which was hosted by local radio station WNCI, took place at minor league baseball stadium Huntington Park in Columbus. Roslovic played on a team with Backstreet Boys members Brian Littrell, Kevin Richardson and Howie Dorough. Kuraly and Grand-Pierre were teammates with Nick Carter and AJ McLean.
Our guys are just too used to being on the same team 😂

The game raised $50,000 for On Our Sleeves, a movement to support children's mental health by Nationwide Children's Hospital. The Backstreet Boys matched the money raised by the event. Backstreet's got Columbus' back, alright.
