Pittsburgh Penguins vs Columbus Blue Jackets Predictions 4/13/2023

The Columbus Blue Jackets are limping back home looking to end a four-game losing streak with just two more games left in their schedule this regular season.

Columbus comes into this Metropolitan battle with just 24 wins on 57 points through 80 games played for the season and unfortunately has been eliminated already from playoff contention this year.

The Blue Jackets lost three road games and one home outing in succession with the recent 3-4 loss to the Philadelphia Flyers in overtime on Tuesday night.

Sean Kuraly converted a goal on a power play assisted by Jake Christiansen and Johnny Gaudreau in the final period of the match to tie the score at 3-all bringing the game into OT.

The Columbus Blue Jackets ended the season with all the heartbreaks they got but hopefully, they have a good season ahead of them.

The Blue Jackets were showered with all kinds of injuries this season and hearing the news that their superstar defenseman Zach Werenski will be missing the whole 2022-23 season added more insult to injuries to the team.

The totals went OVER in 13 of Columbus’ last 18 outings while the Blue Jackets are 1-8 SU in their last 9 games played.

The Columbus Blue Jackets are 5-11 SU in their last 16 home games while the totals went OVER in 8 of the Blue Jackets’ last 10 home contests with the Penguins.

Pittsburgh Penguins vs. Columbus Blue Jackets. The NHL Pick for this contest is Pittsburgh -188.

This will be a no-bearing game for both the Penguins and the Blue Jackets after both were eliminated from the postseason competition.

However, a loss in this match-up will benefit Columbus the most in their race for the No. 1 draft pick this year. The Blue Jackets have the best odds to earn the first overall pick right now and will want to keep it the way it is.

Expect Crosby to end this season strong as winning is always on his mind. The prediction: Pittsburgh will win 5-2.
