Calgary vs Columbus Prediction: the Jackets Won't Be Able to Earn Points

Prediction for the NHL match between Calgary vs Columbus, which will take place on January 26th. Who will turn out to be stronger? Check the team conditions! Several betting options are available.

The fans aren't happy with Calgary for three games in a row. First, they lost to Toronto 4-3, then to Edmonton 3-1, and finally to St. Louis 4-3, all at home. In the upcoming matchup, the Flames have a great opportunity to improve in front of their home crowd as they face an underdog. The Flames currently sit in 12th place in the West with 47 points.

Columbus struggles to compete in the NHL. This is proven by their position in the Western standings - last place with 37 points after 46 games. Of course, the Jackets cannot even dream of making the playoffs. Things are not going well for the visitors either. They have failed four of their last five games - 5-0 to Winnipeg, 7-4 to Seattle, 4-1 to New Jersey and 4-1 to Edmonton.

Calgary is listed as the favorite for the upcoming game, which is hard to argue with. The team is not in the best shape, but Columbus is far from better. In addition, the Flames have strong tournament motivation. They are only four points out of the playoffs, so the Flames have no right to make a mistake against an underdog. Therefore, we suggest picking the first team to win.
