Next Monday night will be a key date for the Columbus Blue Jackets, as they will have a fantastic opportunity to look for their third consecutive victory when playing at the Ottawa Senators. However, the bookies’ odds have made the Senators favorites to win, a fact that makes sense when looking at the fact that they are just one point behind the playoffs’ mark in the Eastern Conference’s standings.

Additionally, the Senators were able to show a very competitive performance during their most recent road game against the Toronto Maple Leafs, a game during which they were very close to forcing overtime with Jordan Spence’s goal in the third period. With that motivation in mind, playing at home is expected to turn into a crucial factor that could have a positive impact on their offense.

As for the Columbus Blue Jackets, this season has been as challenging as it was expected to be at the beginning of the season; however, they have remained very close to the Eastern Conference’s playoff spots. Taking this into account, despite the Blue Jackets currently being the worst team in the standings, they for sure are expected to be a competitive opponent in this game in Canadian territory.
