New Jersey Devils vs Columbus Blue Jackets Predictions 2/14/2023
The Columbus Blue Jackets are home to host the surging New Jersey Devils on Tuesday night after disappointing the Toronto Maple Leafs with a huge 4-3 road victory last time out.
Columbus holds a 16-33-4 record which is considered the worst standing in the Eastern Conference and ends up finding itself trapped in the basement of the whole NHL.
However, The Blue Jackets managed to upset the stronger team of the Maple Leafs in the second of two series with a final score of 4-3 on Saturday. Columbus lost the first part though to a score of 0-3 last Friday.
Centers Boone Jenner and Kent Johnson together with Left-winger Kirill Marchenko led the way for the Blue Jackets with one goal and one assist each.
Johnson earned the win for Columbus with his 11th goal of the season bringing the match to a final score of 4-3 on assists from Cole Sillinger and Jack Roslovik.
The Blue Jackets recorded 40 shots and 40 hits while winning 28 faceoffs with only 4 penalty minutes on the box.
The Columbus Blue Jackets are 1-4 straight up in their last 5 outings while the totals went OVER in 5 of Columbus’ last 6 matches played versus New Jersey.
The Blue Jackets are 1-5 SU in their last 6 home games and 7-0 straight up in their last 7 contests at home against the Devils.
New Jersey Devils vs. Columbus Blue Jackets. The NHL Pick for this contest is New Jersey -204. This is far more than a mismatch between the dominant team of the Devils and the weak team of the Blue Jackets.
Home advantage and crowd support are not even enough to upset or disappoint the tough New Jersey team who will dominate this game from the first toss of the puck to the last buzzer ending the regulation.
The prediction: New Jersey Devils will win 5-1.
