New York Rangers vs Columbus Blue Jackets Prediction: We like the home team to win

Prediction for the NHL New York Rangers vs Columbus Blue Jackets match will occur on January 19. Who will turn out to be stronger? Check the team conditions! Several betting options are available.

New York Rangers

Peter Laviolette is beginning to unlock the talents of the Rangers. The team has picked up points in their last six games, losing only to Dallas and Colorado. The other teams the New York club has beaten are Chicago, New Jersey, Vegas, and Utah. As a result, the Rangers' position in the Eastern Conference table has not changed much. They remain in 14th place but are just four points off the Cup Zone. A win in their next game could see New York move up at least two places.

Columbus Blue Jackets

Columbus's end of December and first half of January went well. The Jackets scored 21 points in 13 matches, beating ten opponents and losing just one out of regulation. This run of form helped Dean Evason's side reach the Cup Final, where they defeated seventh-seeded Boston. The Blue Jackets are now fighting for sixth place, one point behind Tampa Bay, who have been picking up points in every other game of late.

H2H Stats

Columbus has not been the easiest of opponents for the Rangers. The New York club has won three games compared to Columbus's two in the last five games.

Expert Betting Tips

Despite Columbus' recent success, we like the home side to win. Columbus is on a six-game winning streak, but their schedule has not been the toughest. The Rangers are stronger than the Jackets' last six opponents, and the meeting is in New York, giving Peter Laviolette's charges an advantage. Furthermore, the Rangers have come out on top in four of the last five head-to-head meetings in these conditions.
