San Jose Sharks vs Columbus Blue Jackets Prediction, Odds and Picks for Today, 03/28/26

The San Jose Sharks will take on the Columbus Blue Jackets Saturday night. The Sharks come into this one losing their last 6 games straight. These consecutive losses have pushed them further from the playoffs than they hoped to be. Part of the issue is that they give up the 2^nd most goals in the NHL averaging 3.57 goals against per game. The bad part is that they have given up 22 goals over the last 5 games, which averages out to 4.5 goals per game. The Sharks have also lost 8 of their last 10 away games. It could be a long game for the Sharks.

For the Blue Jackets, they are currently ranked 7^th in the Eastern Conference. The Blue Jackets have been rolling in the second half of the season. They have won their last 3 home games and 6 of their last 10 overall. The Blue Jackets improvements have been the most impressive on the defensive end. Over the pat 5 games, they have only allowed 10 total goals. The Blue Jackets motivation for the playoffs should shine through in this one. I am rolling with the Blue Jackets on the puck line.
