The current regular season is going badly for Columbus. A year earlier, the Jackets gradually began to get out of the crisis, so there were hopes that now they would even be able to intervene in the fight for entry into the playoffs. Still, everything turned out to be completely different. From the very first games, Brad Larsen's wards showed poor results, and then they gave out only occasionally decent games, and then there were problems again. In the last six meetings, the Blue Jackets have only one victory, unexpectedly beating Toronto 4-3. Once again, they lost to Washington in overtime – 3:4, and in the rest of the matches, they were left without points, strengthening in last place in the Eastern Conference.
Winnipeg Jets
On the contrary, Winnipeg had an unsuccessful last season, flying past the cup battles at all, but now the Canadians will undoubtedly play in the playoffs, where they will claim a good performance. From the beginning of the current regular season, Rick Bowness's wards began to win important points, after which they periodically had unsuccessful stretches. Still, each time they managed to cope with them quickly. The Jets are in great shape, having beaten St. Louis 4-2, Chicago 4-1 in the last three games, and Seattle 3-2 in shootouts the day before. All this allows Winnipeg to go to second place in the Western Conference standings.
Expert Betting Tips
Columbus and Winnipeg are teams of completely different levels in the current regular season. This reflects the teams' standings since the Jackets are last in the East, and the Jets are in second place in the West. Moreover, Brad Larsen's wards are in bad shape, losing in five last six meetings. Still, the Canadian club has overcome recent problems and again demonstrates hockey of solid quality, having won three previous meetings in a row.
Winnipeg intends to solve big problems this season, but the Jets plan to do this with the help of reliable defensive actions. For this reason, most of the matches with their participation are grassroots. In the last six battles, they had only 27 goalkeeping (4.50 on average per game) – a modest figure by the standards of the NHL. It is unlikely that Columbus will insist on open hockey, competing with a more skilled opponent.
