Columbus is still one of the main outsiders in the East. In 31 games, the Blue Jackets recorded only ten wins but lost 21 times. Therefore, they have 25 points, which puts them in last place in the Metropolitan Division and penultimate in the East. Although the day before, the Jackets registered two victories - 5:2 over St. Louis and 6:5 over Toronto. Also, they had a 2:5 loss to Florida.

New Jersey is not meeting expectations but might make a run in the playoffs. Heading into the game, the Devils sit in sixth place in the Metropolitan Division standings with 31 points, and they should keep their momentum going. The team has been on a roll lately, with seven wins in the past nine games. In the last game, New Jersey beat not just anyone but East-leading Boston (2:1).

Here, we are in solidarity with the experts of bookmaker companies and consider New Jersey the clear favorite of the match. The Devils have been doing great lately - seven wins in nine previous meetings. Columbus, on the other hand, looks weak and consistently loses. They are the underdog in the East. We think that the guests will be able to earn two important points in this battle.
