The only team that was able to win its last five games in the Eastern Conference was the Columbus Blue Jackets, so it makes sense that the bookies’ odds made them favorites to defeat the Chicago Blackhawks next Wednesday night. In this matter, it’s worth noting that winning would allow them to keep competing to reach the playoff zone, as they currently have two fewer games played than the New York Islanders.
Furthermore, it should be noted that the Columbus Blue Jackets have only lost one of their last ten games, a fantastic streak that was based on a consistent defensive performance. Thus, it cannot be considered surprising that they only conceded more than three goals in only two of their last ten games, but shamefully they will most likely lose their momentum with the Olympics break.
As for the Chicago Blackhawks, they have finally ended a five-game losing streak with their most recent 6-3 victory over the San Jose Sharks, but that is not enough to consider them strong contenders to clinch a Western Conference playoff spot. Most of this lack of confidence in the Blackhawks is due to their terrible offensive performance, as they currently are the second-worst offense in the Central Division with 154 goals scored.
