Columbus Blue Jackets vs. Arizona Coyotes Predictions

The Coyotes, despite their less-than-ideal record, have shown flashes of potential throughout the season, with Clayton Keller leading the charge with 30 goals. The team’s recent form has been a mix of highs and lows, but they’ll be looking to capitalize on their home-ice advantage at Mullett Arena. Arizona’s offense has had its moments, but consistency will be key if they are to overcome the Blue Jackets’ defense.

Columbus, on the other hand, is enduring a four-game losing streak and will be desperate to turn things around. With Johnny Gaudreau providing a spark on offense with 52 points, the Blue Jackets have the firepower to challenge the Coyotes. However, their defensive struggles have been a significant factor this season, ranking near the bottom in goals allowed per game. The matchup between Gaudreau and Keller could be a deciding factor in the outcome of this game.

Both teams have had their struggles on special teams, with power plays and penalty kills ranking in the lower tier of the league. This game could come down to which team capitalizes on their opportunities and which goaltender steps up to the challenge. With both teams looking to end the season on a positive note, expect a competitive matchup with players eager to make an impact.

Columbus Blue Jackets vs. Arizona Coyotes Pick

Given the current form and historical matchups, the Arizona Coyotes moneyline bet is the more compelling choice. The Coyotes have won all three previous encounters against the Blue Jackets over the last two seasons, showcasing their ability to close out games against this particular opponent. Despite their overall season struggles, the Coyotes have a winning record at home (18-17-0) and will look to leverage this advantage. Clayton Keller’s offensive prowess, leading the team with 30 goals, coupled with the team’s recent form that includes a mix of wins and losses, suggests they have the momentum to secure a victory at Mullett Arena.

On the other hand, the Columbus Blue Jackets are on a four-game losing streak and have a dismal road record this season (10-25-0). While Johnny Gaudreau’s offensive contributions are noteworthy, the Blue Jackets’ defensive issues could be their downfall, especially against a Coyotes team that has historically had their number. The Coyotes’ resilience in tight games, as evidenced by their narrow victory in the most recent matchup, further supports the notion that they can edge out the Blue Jackets once again. Therefore, considering the favorable moneyline odds, home-ice advantage, and historical success against Columbus, the Arizona Coyotes moneyline bet is the recommended pick for this matchup.

The Pick: Arizona Coyotes -167. (BetRivers)
