Columbus Blue Jackets vs Tampa Bay Lightning Prediction: Where is Tampa, and where is Columbus?

Prediction for the NHL Columbus Blue Jackets vs Tampa Bay Lightning match which will take place on February 11th. Who will turn out to be stronger? Check the team conditions! Several betting options are available.

Columbus needs to be better. The team is the worst in the East with only 42 points after 50 games - 16 wins and ten losses outside regulation time. The playoffs are out of the question with such a record. The Jackets are coming off a 2:4 loss to Seattle and a minimal win over St. Louis (1:0).

Kucherov is the top star in the NHL. Nikita is two points ahead of second-place MacKinnon. The success of the Russian hockey player has a noticeable effect on the performance of the Lightning. Tampa continues to hold the seventh place in the table of the East, having in the piggy bank 59 points. In the last game, the Lightning lost on the road against the Islanders with a score of 2:6.

We agree that Nikita Kucherov and his team will be the clear favorites against the modest Jackets. Where is Tampa, and where is Columbus? The difference in class is too big, so two points are guaranteed for the Lightning. It even smells like a rout, so we expect a lot of goals. Based on this, with some reassurance, we'll bet on the visitors not to lose and strengthen the bet with the total more with a reserve.
