Columbus Blue Jackets Analysis

Boomer Jenner & Adam Fantili have scored 11 goals and 7 assists, leading the top lines, but only 4 skaters have 4 goals or more. Moreover, the defense is weak with its -0.6 goal saved above average, whilst Elvis Merzlikins' .901 save percentage and 3.15 goals-against average on 282 shots shows poor performance from the Jackets' goaltenders. Our NHL Predictions are here to help you all season long. The Columbus Blue Jackets have had a tough season thus far, boasting an average offense (#25, 2.71 goals per game) and defense (#23, 3.50 points per game) ranking. While Boone Jenner and Adam Fantili have helped the team with 11 goals and seven assists, the rest of the offense has been increasingly limited. The defense has also been subpar, with an unimpressive -0.6 goals saved above average, and poor goaltending performance from Elvis Merzlikins (.901 save percentage and 3.15 goals-against average on 282 shots). Our NHL Predictions are available to support you throughout the entire season.

Penguins Poised to Strengthen Winning Streak with Dominant Performance Over Blue Jackets

The Penguins have won their last four games and look to carry this momentum as they face the Blue Jackets on the road. Their offence, which averages 3.54 goals per game, will be bolstered by their dynamic forward unit led by captain Sidney Crosby and All-Star Evgeni Malkin. Furthermore, their defence, which allows only 2.62 goals conceded per game, is likely to limit the relatively low-scoring Blue Jackets offence, which averages just 2.73 goals scored per game. With the leadership of veterans such as Erik Karlsson and Kris Letang, and assisted by goaltender Tristan Jarry, the Penguins should maintain their winning streak and provide a dominant performance over the Blue Jackets. As such, the Penguins money line is favoured in this match-up.
