Columbus Blue Jackets vs Tampa Bay Lightning Prediction & Picks - NHL
by Bill Christy in NHL Picks
The Tampa Bay Lightning head to Columbus to take on the Blue Jackets Tuesday evening. While the Lightning have already clinched a playoff berth the Blue Jackets have mathematically been eliminated from playoff contention. Tampa has gone 7-2-1 over their last 10 games including 2-1 at home during that stretch. Nikita Kucherov has been their leader throughout the season and leads the team in both goals and points with 43 goals and 136 points. Minding the net Tuesday will be Andrei Vasilevskiy who is 29-18 on the season with a 2.87 GAA. Columbus is 3-6-1 in their last 10 and have gone 0-5-1 during that stretch on the road. Johnny Gaudreau has proven to be an excellent addition from the Flames as he leads the way with 47 assists and 58 points. Jet Greaves will make just his 6th start of the season in net and will certainly have his hands full with this strong TB offense. TB is 1st in the league in terms of PP/PK Percentage and 5th in goals scored. Defensively, Columbus is 25th in PP/PK % and 31st in goals scored. There has been a 1.7 goal differential between these two over their last 10 meetings with TB winning 8 of those 10.

Our Columbus Blue Jackets vs Tampa Bay Lightning Prediction
Columbus struggled all season and we believe that continues again here on the road in Tampa. They have been dominated over their recent stretch of games against the Lightning having lose 9 of their last 11 meetings. Combine that with Jet Greaves making just his 6th start of the season and we believe that is a recipe for yet another TB win here. The money line is over -350 so playing the puck line here helps lower the juice significantly.
Our prediction for Tampa Bay Lightning vs Columbus Blue Jackets: Tampa Bay to cover -1.5, -135 at DraftKings.
