Next Tuesday night will be a key date in the NHL regular season calendar for the Carolina Hurricanes, as they will play a very tough home game against the Columbus Blue Jackets at 06:30 pm CST. For this game, the Hurricanes were made absolute favorites by the bookies’ odds, but they should be careful enough to avoid conceding many chances to the Blue Jackets.
Most of that caution is based on the good offensive performance that the Columbus Blue Jackets have had throughout the season, it being worth noting that they currently are the third-best offense in the Metropolitan Division with 90 goals scored. However, their defense has been their biggest pain point, because the Blue Jackets currently are the worst in their division with 99 goals conceded.
With those numbers in mind, the Carolina Hurricanes should try to take advantage of this matchup, it being important for them to look for a victory to quickly forget their most recent 4-1 loss to the San Jose Sharks. Nevertheless, it cannot be ignored that the Hurricanes lost a fantastic opportunity to keep the pressure on the Washington Capitals, as the gap between them increased to three points.
