Blue Jackets vs Devils Predictions and Picks
Columbus is 18th in scoring, 25th in goals against, 17th on the power play, and 28th on the penalty kill. Zach Werenski leads the team in goals, assists, and points. The Blue Jackets are 13-12-3 on the road and 9-1 in their last 10 games. This month, Columbus got some new leadership and has quickly turned the season around, with the team averaging 3.9 goals per game. The defense could tighten up a bit, but the offense is confident and scoring throughout the game.
New Jersey is 28th in scoring, 16th in goals against, 14th on the power play, and 20th on the penalty kill. Jesper Bratt leads the team in assists. The Devils are 13-10-2 at home and 6-4 in their last 10 games. New Jersey has lost three of their last four games, with both sides of the puck being a little inconsistent. The Devils have two home games left before the Olympic break. This is a big two points to pick up. New Jersey just traded for Maxim Tsyplakov, and he will hopefully help with the secondary scoring. They also need to cash in on those stacked-up power play chances.
Best Bet: Over
Blue Jackets have been scoring with ease, but also giving up a decent amount. The Devils will look to clean up their game on both sides of the puck, make special teams play special, and finish these last home games before the Olympic break strong.
