Next Saturday, January 04th will bring a very long schedule, in which one of the games which is expected to be one of the most even corresponds to the clash between Columbus Blue Jackets and St. Louis Blues. These teams aren’t really having a good time in their respective Conferences, so both will be forced to deliver their best possible level to increase their chances of qualifying to the playoffs by the end of the regular season.
On the one hand, Columbus Blue Jackets haven’t been able to win any of their last 3 games in a row in regulation time, however they remark as one of the best offensive lines in the Metropolitan Division with 131 scored goals. In this matter, they scored 3 or more goals in 4 out of their last 5 games, so playing at home must be advantageous for them, as they’re the best home offensive in the Eastern Conference with 82 scored goals.
On the other hand, St. Louis Blues will truly be exhausted for this game, not only because they played less than 24 hours before the kickoff of this game, but also because they traveled from St. Louis to Columbus during that period. However, they will be truly motivated after the great performance they had against Ottawa Senators, being relevant to note that Brandon Saad was the best player of this team.
