Command Analysis
Recently Columbus ended their long losing streak of nine games with a 1:0 win over Detroit. Also, the Blue Jackets earned points in overtime against Carolina (1:2 OT) and Nashville (3:4 OT). In the return match against the Predators, the team managed to take revenge, beating the opponent with a score of 4:2. The best player was forward Bjorkstrand, who gave an assist and also scored a double.
Thanks to the points earned, the Jackets climbed up from the line in the table. But the season is coming to an end, and Columbus won't be able to get into the playoffs.
Throughout the season, Detroit were showing mediocre results and remained on the last line of the standings for almost a year. First of all, the reason for so many defeats was the inability of the Red Wings to score, as on average the team scored only two goals per game.
At the moment, the Wings are still not in the best form, and in five games they only won once, against Tampa (1:0 B). They also got points losing to Columbus (0:1 B) and Dallas (1:2 OT) in overtime.

In the head-to-head, the teams rarely score many goals. Both teams struggle to use their attacking chances, and we believe that is a good time to bet on total under.
Second wager - total under 5.5 goals.
