Chicago Blackhawks

Despite drafting one of the most talented forwards in history last year, the Blackhawks have the worst offense this season. Chicago is averaging just 2.03 goals per game. It's no surprise that Luke Richardson's team is in last place in the Western Conference, having won just 15 of 60 games.

In their last game, the Blackhawks suffered their fifth straight defeat, losing 5:0 to Colorado on their home ice.

Columbus Blue Jackets

The Blue Jackets also close out their conference, but Pascal Vincent's team has scored more points than Chicago - as many as 15. Columbus has 19 wins in 59 games.

The Blue Jackets played their last three games against Eastern Conference contenders. They split with the New York Rangers, 4:2 at home and 4:1 on the road, and then lost to Carolina on home ice, 4:2.

Expert Betting Tips

Columbus has been more stable than Chicago this season. Although the Blue Jackets are also at the end of their conference, they have more points than the Blackhawks, which also speaks to the stronger East today. Columbus will confirm their status as the favorite in the upcoming game and that many goals will not be scored.
