Next Tuesday night’s NHL schedule will bring a very challenging game for the Ottawa Senators, as they’ll play on the road against the Columbus Blue Jackets at 06:00 pm CST. For the referred game, the bookies’ odds haven’t made any of these teams favorites; however, it’s worth noting that the Blue Jackets are currently having one of the best performances in the Eastern Conference.
In this matter, the Columbus Blue Jackets were able to win their last four games, a very positive streak that allowed them to leave the bottom spot in the Eastern Conference. Nevertheless, they still are six points away from the eighth spot, so winning this game can be taken as one of the most important regular season challenges for the Blue Jackets, so their defense is expected to significantly increase their winning chances.
Meanwhile, the Ottawa Senators lost their last two games in overtime, so this game is expected to be an ideal chance to recover the excellent overall performance that allowed them to recently defeat the New York Rangers and the Vancouver Canucks. However, they still are one of the most disappointing teams in the Eastern Conference, so players like Tim Stutzle and Drake Batherson are expected to be among the top goalscorers this season.
