Columbus Blue Jackets vs New York Islanders Prediction & Picks - NHL
by Edgar Jibran | in NHL Picks
The NHL Metropolitan Division will host a very interesting Intra-Divisional game between New York Islanders and Columbus Blue Jackets to be disputed next Monday, January 20th at 06:30 pm CST. For this game, the main expectation is having a very even game, as the Islanders must try to build momentum when playing at home, as they still are very far from the playoffs’ spots.
In this matter, New York Islanders were recently able to break a streak of 2 losses in a row after their most recent victory over San Jose Sharks (4-1). Even so, they still are the worst offensive line in the Eastern Conference after only scoring 121 goals throughout the season, so players like Mathew Barzal and Bo Horvat are expected to increase their offensive participation as they’re the players with most minutes disputed throughout the season.
Meanwhile, Columbus Blue Jackets are definitely having a best season than expected, not only because they’re on the playoffs’ spots, but also because their offensive performance is one of the best within the Eastern Conference. Nonetheless, they still have a long way to go, as their defensive line has just shown a recent recovery from the terrible beginning of the season, an improvement that let them build their streak of 7 games in a row without losing in regulation time.
