The Columbus Blue Jackets and St. Louis Blues square off for one of their two meetings this season. In their second game as many nights, the Blue Jackets are forced to hit the road, but are meeting a team that has been struggling to find consistency. Here is our expert Blue Jackets vs Blues prediction for the full insight.
Columbus may not be known for their standout strength, but it has an excellent group of young talent players that can compete on any night. Led up by newly-aquired Matthew Knies, Adam Fantilli, Kent Johnson, and Cole Sillinger, as well as a top-3 defenseman in the league in Zach Werenski, the pieces are absolutely in place. The Blues are in the thick if their retool/rebuild, and have a lot of searching to do to find out what kind of team then will be this year, and what direction they will take. Columbus has dominated St. Louis over the short term, winning their last 6 contests, dating back to 2023. The vibes are great in Columbus with their man against world mentality, so I don’t see them having issues, even in their second straight game. I'm taking Columbus on the money line for this Blue Jackets vs Blues prediction.
