Canadiens vs. Blue Jackets Key Stats
Montreal's poor season is due to their poor offensive run. They have been too dependent on Nick Suzuki and Cole Caufield for goals and other players have failed to provide them with the desired support. They need to improve their overall team contribution and conversion rate to have a better impact on their results.
Their defense has also failed to add any positivity to the team and has been poor overall all season. They have failed to make a compact backline, giving enough space to the opposing team. They need to make changes to become a better defensive force.
Columbus has been one of the weaker sides on offense this season. They have been poor overall and could not convert their chances to score goals. Only Johnny Gaudreau has something to show after playing 18 games with 18 goal contributions.
Other team members have failed to add anything to his contributions and need to play better if they are to progress into the playoffs. Their defense has let them down this season and needs attention coming into the game and the season ahead.
Canadiens vs. Blue Jackets Betting Prediction
The last few results put Montreal at a great disadvantage as the high margin of losses exposes their offense and defense badly. Their performances on the road have been poor and coupled with a poor record against Columbus, they are likely to struggle in this game.
The Blue Jackets have played well in their last few games and have a 4-1 record at home. They are better placed to get a win in this game with a complete team performance.
Prediction: Take Blue Jackets, ML(-118)
