The first NHL season series between Columbus Blue Jackets and Pittsburgh Penguins will be played next Friday, November 15th, and even when these teams aren’t contenders to qualify for the playoffs this will be a must-win game for both. In this matter, it must be remarked that playing at home can be disadvantageous for Columbus, whose fans aren’t in a good mood as they carry on being one of the worst teams in the whole league.
When looking closely at their numbers, Columbus Blue Jackets are currently noting as the only team from the Eastern Conference that lost its last 5 games including overtime, being necessary remarking that none of their players have been able to reach the 10 goals line yet. Additionally, they had a solid performance during the first period of their game against Seattle Kraken, but unfortunately their defensive crumbled during the second one and they lost that game 5-2.
Meanwhile, Pittsburgh Penguins are even having a worst defensive performance than Columbus after receiving 71 goals so far this season. Despite this, the Penguins have had some brilliant moments like their recent victory over Washington Capitals (2-4), in which players like Evgeni Malkin and Michael Bunting ephemerally appeared, so more consistency from them is still demanded from the Penguins’ fans.
