Carolina Hurricanes vs Columbus Blue Jackets Prediction and Betting Tips (14.01.2022)

Command Analysis

Carolina Hurricanes

USA

Carolina are one of the most consistent clubs in the league. They are currently in 3rd place in the Eastern Conference standings with a total of 50 points. After a long winning streak, the Hurricanes lost to Florida at home. This was a very intense and close game, but the Canes yielded in overtime (3:4 OT).

Before that, the Canes easily beat Calgary (6:3). The game against the Panthers was the first this season to end outside regulation at the PNC Arena. Rod BrindAmour's charges lost only 3 home games this season, and on average they scored three goals per game.

Columbus Blue Jackets

USA

Columbus are currently in 10th place in the East and are unlikely to make the playoffs this season. The Blue Jackets are already 14 points behind Pittsburgh, and they struggle to earn points of late.

Brad Larsen's charges were on a three-game losing streak, which they ended by beating New Jersey (4:3), but right after that, the Jackets lost to Chicago with a score of 2:4. Columbus won only one away game in regulation this season, and, as a rule, conceded four goals per game.

Do you agree with this bet?

1.74Total over 5.5 goals

The two sides have already met this month. That was a real barn-burner, in which the teams scored 11 goals. Most of Carolina's games are high-scoring, and Columbus concede a lot on their travels. We suggest betting on the total over.
