Vancouver Canucks vs Columbus Blue Jackets Prediction, Odds and Picks for Today, 01/15/26

The Vancouver Canucks are concluding a 6-game road trip with a visit to Columbus to face the Blue Jackets. Unfortunately for Vancouver, it has gone winless on this trip and hasn’t won a game since December 29. Losing games is tough, but what makes it worse is how the Canucks lose. They are frequently outshot and allow over 4 goals per game. With an underperforming offense, when they begin to struggle it often leads to disaster.

In contrast, the Blue Jackets have made a significant change by firing Dean Evason after less than 2 years as their coach and hiring Rick Bowness. Although they have only played 1 game under his leadership, it’s clear that Columbus will adopt a different style of hockey for the remainder of the season. The Jackets currently sit 13 points behind the division-leading Carolina Hurricanes. While this may seem like a large gap, it is not insurmountable. Columbus needs to embark on a winning streak, making this an opportune moment for it to secure 2 points against a weaker opponent. Expect Columbus to score early and often, leading to a convincing victory.

Canucks vs Blue Jackets prediction: Columbus -1.5 (-115) available at time of publishing. Playable at that number.
