Blue Jackets vs. Penguins: NHL Odds, Picks & Predictions (Tuesday)
The Blue Jackets have lost four out of their last five games and come into tonight's contest at 8-13-2 (18 points). The Penguins seem to be hitting their stride as they've gone 7-1-1 over their last nine games and reside in fourth place in the Metropolitan Division with a 13-8-4 (30 points) record. Puck drop is set for 7:00 p.m. ET in Pittsburgh for this divisional clash.
One of the most significant issues with Columbus this season has been their defense and goaltending. They're currently 31st in the league in goals allowed per game as they concede 3.83 per contest. That won't bode well for them tonight against a Penguins team that has home ice and enters with the ninth-best offense in the NHL (3.5 gpg). With the way Pittsburgh is trending right now, I expect them to take care of business tonight and stretch this lead out by a couple of goals. Let's ride with the Pens on the puck line.
Bet: Pittsburgh Penguins -1.5 (-110)
