Columbus Blue Jackets (31-28-8) and Florida Panthers (41-24-3) will clash in a high-stakes game on Thursday night at the Nationwide Arena. The Blue Jackets will want to stop the four-game slide that has seen them drop further down the Metropolitan Division. They lost 2-1 to New Jersey Devils on Monday, leaving them in sixth position with 70 points. However, they’re still in the playoff race, with only 2 points behind the fourth-placed Rangers and 10 points behind the Devils.

Like the Blue Jackets, the Panthers are also coming off a rough ride after giving up their last two games. This has left them vulnerable on top of the Atlantic Division standings with 85 points. That’s just 2 points ahead of the Lightning and Maple Leafs, who have both played a game less than the Panthers. They are also only 8 points ahead of the Senators and must start winning consistently to cement their top spot.

Our Columbus Blue Jackets vs Florida Panthers Prediction

Both teams are in a position where they cannot continue to lose games. The Panthers have lost three of their last four matches, which hasn’t helped their quest to top the Atlantic Division. They have also given up three of their previous four games on the road. The good news for the Panthers is that the Blue Jackets have also struggled at home lately, giving up three of their last four assignments. The Blue Jackets have also scored just one goal in their previous three matches, highlighting their offensive struggles. Note that the Panthers have scored an average of 2.0 goals in their last four games. Overall, don’t expect a big scoreline. Our prediction for Columbus Blue Jackets vs Florida Panthers: Under 5.5 goals.
