Blue Jackets vs Avalanche Pickswise Expert Predictions

Puck Line Pick
COL Avalanche -1.5(-120)

The Columbus Blue Jackets face the Colorado Avalanche on Saturday afternoon in the NHL. These teams played almost three months ago, when the Avalanche secured a 4-1 win in October. Columbus may have a tricky time getting even in this game. 

After suffering a surprising two-game losing streak (both in regulation), the powerhouse Avalanche stormed back to the win column in an 8-2 massacre over the Ottawa Senators. I see them keeping this train rolling, dominating their Blue Jackets. On home ice, Colorado has been unstoppable, posting an 18-0-2 record thus far. Columbus meanwhile has won just 41% of their road games (9-10-3), and this will likely be their toughest one yet. This is the third-straight road game for Columbus, and they have also lost three-straight games. They have nothing going for them in this game, and they will likely continue to show why they are last in the Eastern Conference. I expect this one to go exactly as expected, in pure Avalanche domination.
