Columbus Blue Jackets (31-26-8) and New York Rangers (32-28-6) will lock horns at the Nationwide Arena on Saturday night. Both teams are aiming for a playoff spot in the Metropolitan Division, making this an entertaining high-stakes game. The Blue Jackets are fourth in the standings with 70 points, eight behind the Devils in third position. They’ll be looking to improve their recent performances after giving up five of their last 10 games and two on the bounce.
The Rangers, meanwhile, also have 70 points, and a win could give them the coveted fourth position. Peter Laviolette’s side has shown much improvement lately, losing only three of their last 10 matches. They are coming off a 3-2 overtime win against the Wild to bounce back from their 2-1 loss over the Jets earlier in the week. The Rangers definitely need to put together a string of wins to improve their ranking in the Division and make the playoffs to appease their restless fans.

Our New York Rangers vs Columbus Blue Jackets Prediction
Both teams desperately need a win here to boost their postseason hopes. The Blue Jackets have been decent at home lately, winning three of their last four matches. However, they have lost four of their previous five games, exposing their recent vulnerabilities. However, they shouldn’t have any issues handling the Rangers, who have also dropped four of their last five games. The Rangers are conceding goals this season, averaging 3.05 goals per game. They have also conceded an average of 3.60 goals over the previous five games. We expect a highly competitive matchup, although the Blue Jackets have an edge on their home ice. Our prediction for Columbus Blue Jackets vs New York Rangers: Columbus Blue Jackets to cover +1.5 handicap.
