CLB Blue Jackets Win(-140)

The New York Rangers are travelling to Columbus to face the Blue Jackets for the final time this season. The Rangers are in the midst of a back-to-back schedule and are playing their third game in four nights. They recently lost to the New Jersey Devils 6-3 in a game that should not have been close. Despite Jonathan Quick’s impressive performance in goal, it wasn’t enough to secure a win. With nothing significant left to play for, we shouldn’t expect many strong efforts from the Rangers.

On the other hand, the Blue Jackets are just four points behind the Pittsburgh Penguins for second place in the Metropolitan Division, making this game crucial for them. They have won three of their last four games and continue to perform well since changing coaches. Their goaltending has improved, and defensively, they are better at protecting their zone. Columbus has a home record of 18-8-7 and possesses all the necessary tools to secure a victory. Additionally, New York has struggled with a 1-9 record in the second game of back-to-back matches, so we can expect the Blue Jackets to dominate for a significant portion of the game.

Rangers vs Blue Jackets prediction: Blue Jackets 3-Way ML (-140) available at time of publishing. Playable at that number.
