Next Saturday night will be a key moment for Ottawa Senators and Columbus Blue Jackets, as they’ll face at 05:00 pm CST with a huge obligation of winning due to their current performances in the Eastern Conference. In this matter, even when Ottawa will play this game at home, the biggest obligation of winning is on Columbus Blue Jackets’ side, as they currently aren’t in playoffs’ spots.

When looking at Ottawa Senators’ performance, they had one of the most wonderful recoveries in the regular season to get into the seventh spot of the Eastern Conference, however they only were able to win two of their last five games. Additionally, it must be highlighted that they’re the second worst offensive line in the Atlantic Division with 208 goals scored this season.

On Columbus Blue Jackets’ case, this team was finally able to break a streak of 6 losses in a row after their most recent overtime victory over New York Islanders (3-4). Another positive news for them is the fact that the gap between them and the eighth spot of the Eastern Conference is just 2 points, so there are still big chances for them to qualify for the playoffs as one of the Wild Cards of the season.

Our Ottawa Senators vs Columbus Blue Jackets Prediction

To sum up, the big favoritism that Ottawa Senators have in the bookmakers’ odds is totally valid, not only because of the bad performance that the Blue Jackets recently had when visiting Ottawa, but also because Columbus faced a very complicated game against Vancouver Canucks less that 24 hours before the kickoff of this game. Therefore, the pick for Ottawa Senators – Columbus Blue Jackets is: Total Goals in the 1st Period – Under 1.5!
