The regular season of the NHL has already defined the teams that will clearly be competing for the Stanley Cup this year, as well as those which will be suffering for the rest of the season to ensure their qualification for the playoffs. In this last context there are some teams like Detroit Red Wings and Columbus Blue Jackets, that will face next Thursday at 06:00 pm CST.
For this game, Detroit Red Wings are considered the big favorites to win, but it cannot be forgotten that they just broke with a streak of 5 games in a row without winning in regulation time. With those numbers in mind, the Red Wings shouldn’t be overconfident as they still are the third worst offensive line in the Atlantic Division after only being able to score 171 goals throughout the season.
On Columbus Blue Jackets’ case, this team has been able to sustain their 2-points gap advantage over New York Rangers after winning their last 2 games in a row, in which they were able to show their offensive potential after scoring 5 or more goals in both games. Those numbers have enabled them to keep as the second-best offensive line in the Metropolitan Division after scoring 195 goals this season.
