The most uneven game in the NHL Eastern Conference for next Saturday night schedule will be hosted by Columbus Blue Jackets, a team that still remarks as one of the weakest in the Metropolitan Division and that will have such a great challenge against Carolina Hurricanes. Despite that fact, both teams have been displaying a wonderful offensive performance, so this could turn into one of the most spectacular NHL games of the weekend.
First of all, Columbus Blue Jackets have a streak of 2 victories in a row, in which they were able to score 12 goals including overtime against competitive teams like Boston Bruins and Tampa Bay Lightning. Nonetheless, their defensive irregularity cost them to lose the first period against TB Lightning and WIN Jets, so Dean Evason must find better defensive tactics in the short term.
Secondly, Carolina Hurricanes lost their streak of 3 victories in a row after their most recent loss against New Jersey Devils (4-2), a result that will force them to win this confrontation to ensure keeping the top spot of the Metropolitan Division as well as of the Eastern Conference. With that objective in mind, the Hurricanes must take advantage of their amazing defensive performance, that has allowed them to keep as the second-best defensive with just 46 conceded goals.
