One of the best NHL Divisional games that will take place next Saturday night corresponds to the clash between Columbus Blue Jackets and New York Rangers, teams that will face at 06:00 pm CST in the Nationwide Arena. That venue has been converted into a fortress for the Blue Jackets, so they’re expected to perform at a very high level even though they aren’t considered as the favorites to win according to the bookmakers’ odds.
However, it’s algo necessary to note that the list of injuries from Columbus Blue Jackets is one of the longest right now, and that could explain the low performance they had during their most recent games. In this regard, it must be noted that the Blue Jackets haven’t been able to score more than 3 goals since their 7-4 loss against Carolina Hurricanes last January 23rd.
Meanwhile, New York Rangers will face this as a must-win game, because even when they were recovering some trust after winning 2 games in a row against Vegas Golden Knights and Boston Bruins, they couldn’t get a positive result against one of the worst defensives in the Eastern Conference as Pittsburgh Penguins. That unexpected result left them 5 points behind the playoffs’ spots qualification line.
