Blackhawks vs Blue Jackets Pickswise Expert Predictions

Money Line 3-Way Pick
CLB Blue Jackets(+100)

The Chicago Blackhawks will travel to Columbus to face the Blue Jackets for the second and final time this season. Chicago is coming off an impressive 6-3 win against San Jose; however, they had been struggling beforehand. They average fewer than three goals per game and allow nearly 30 shots against. Staying healthy has been a challenge for the team, and even with a full roster, their offensive and defensive depth is lacking. While they won’t be completely overwhelmed, once they fall behind, it’s usually hard for them to recover.

On the other hand, the Blue Jackets have been performing well since their coaching change. Rick Bowness and his players have won five consecutive games and 10 of their last 11. Not only has their offence improved, but their defence has also strengthened, leading to better performances from their goalies. The Blue Jackets are strong at home and average exactly 30 shots per game. Although their power play could use improvement, it’s not the worst in the league. We can expect a close game at the beginning, but as it progresses, it’s likely the Blue Jackets will take control. Expect them to secure a victory in regulation.
