Nashville Predators and Columbus Blue Jackets will clash on Thursday night at Bridgestone Arena. The Predators will be looking to get off to a solid start this season after falling short of expectations this year. They finished second-last in the Central Division last year with a 30-44-8 record. The Blue Jackets scored the fewest goals in the 2024-25 NHL season, averaging 2.14 goals per contest. It will be interesting to see if they have improved in this area.

Columbus Blue Jackets, meanwhile, put up a spirited fight in the Metropolitan Division, although they fell short of getting a postseason spot. They finished the regular season with 89 points, just two points behind the Devils, who secured the final playoff position. The Blue Jackets will be keen to recover from this disappointment by starting strongly against the Predators before traveling to the Wild on Saturday night.

Our Columbus Blue Jackets vs Nashville Predators Prediction

Nashville Predators are the betting favorites despite finishing last season with an inferior record. They were 31st in terms of the goals scored, whereas the Blue Jackets were seventh. These teams were almost similarly matched in defense, with the Predators ranking 27th, whereas the Blue Jackets ranked 25th. It’s worth noting, however, that the Blue Jackets have had a snoozer during the preseason, losing five of their seven matches. It would take them a few games to get their groove back. Until then, we think the Predators will get the results on Thursday night.

Our prediction for Nashville Predators vs Columbus Blue Jackets: Under 6.5 goals.

Prediction:
