Columbus Blue Jackets vs. New York Rangers Predictions
The New York Rangers have been on a tear recently, boasting a strong record and sitting at the top of the Metropolitan Division. With a potent offense led by Artemi Panarin, who has been on a point streak, and Chris Kreider, who leads the team in goals, the Rangers have been formidable opponents. Their defense has been equally impressive, with a high team save percentage and a low goals against average, indicating solid goaltending and defensive play. The Rangers will look to continue their dominance at home, where they have only lost once this season.
On the other side, the Columbus Blue Jackets are enduring a tough stretch, finding themselves at the bottom of the division. Despite the struggles, Boone Jenner has been a bright spot, leading the team in both goals and points. The Blue Jackets have shown they can score, but their defensive woes have been their downfall, with a high number of goals allowed per game. They’ll need to tighten up defensively and hope for a strong performance in net if they want to upset the Rangers on their home ice.
This game will feature a key matchup between the Rangers’ high-powered offense and the Blue Jackets’ struggling defense. The Rangers will look to exploit the Blue Jackets’ defensive gaps, while Columbus will rely on their top scorers like Jenner and the recently returned Patrik Laine to challenge the Rangers’ goaltenders. With both teams eager to secure a win for different reasons, this game promises to be an exciting battle with significant implications for the division standings.
Columbus Blue Jackets vs. New York Rangers Pick
The Columbus Blue Jackets come into this game as significant underdogs, but there’s value in taking a chance on their moneyline bet. Despite their recent struggles and four-game losing streak, the Blue Jackets have shown they can pull off upsets, as evidenced by their victory over the Rangers earlier this season. With Patrik Laine back in the lineup and Boone Jenner consistently finding the back of the net, Columbus has the offensive firepower to challenge the Rangers’ defense. Additionally, the Blue Jackets’ recent trend of covering the spread in four out of their last five road games suggests they perform better in an underdog role away from home, which could translate into a surprise win at Madison Square Garden.
While the New York Rangers have been dominant, especially at home, the NHL is known for its unpredictability, and the Blue Jackets have a history of stepping up against tough opponents. The Rangers’ tendency to go under the total in recent games indicates that they might not be as offensively explosive as their record suggests, which could give Columbus the edge they need to keep the game close and potentially steal a win. Considering the high potential return on the Blue Jackets’ moneyline and their ability to rise to the occasion, betting on Columbus could be a smart move for those looking for value in an underdog pick.
The Pick: Columbus Blue Jackets +220 (BetRivers)
