LiontipsNew Jersey - Columbus: NHL match betting tip and bets
Command Analysis
Current form
Due to its decline, New Jersey could not achieve success for three consecutive matches. Still, in defense of the team, it is worth saying that it has met with the strongest clubs in the league. The Devils played away to Vegas, where they could not score a single goal, losing dry (0:2), and after that they were unable to stop the pressure of Dallas, which led to another defeat (3:4). Goalkeeper Markstrom did not cope with his main task, reflecting only 80% of shots. But Keogh's team played the worst against Winnipeg, suffering a defeat with a five-goal difference (1-6). Once again, Markstrom defended the goal and was unable to back up the team.
The devils were able to partially rehabilitate themselves in front of the fans and break their streak of setbacks in a duel with Philadelphia, in which they finally played reliably on the defensive, which allowed them to win 3-1. Allen stood at the goal, playing much more reliably than his teammate. It is worth noting that due to the large number of lost points, the club continues to fall down the Eastern Conference table and currently occupies the sixth place.
Disqualifications and injuries
Hamilton, Hughes and Siegenthaler remain in the infirmary.
Interesting betting trends
- On average, New Jersey scores three goals per game.

Current form
Columbus continues its away streak, which has already reached three matches and started badly. In the first match, the team faced a clear favorite in the face of Tampa Bay and was unable to impose a worthy fight on the opponent, suffering a crushing defeat with a score of 2:6. The defensive line showed itself at its worst, allowing Lightning to create and realize a huge number of dangerous moments, which led to this result. It is noteworthy that in the second match with Florida, the jackets could not even score, losing dry (0:3). In just three periods, the visitors scored 16 shots on the Panthers' goal.
But the Blue Jackets unexpectedly rehabilitated themselves and stopped their string of failures. Evans' men showed all their attacking power away from the Rangers and left no chance for the cops (7-3). The whole first team showed an excellent game, but in particular it is worth praising the striker Fantilli, who scored a hat-trick. Even despite its decline, the team continues to remain in the playoff zone, but still the advantage over the nearest competitor is only three points.
Disqualifications and injuries
Gudbranson, Labanque, Monahan and Sillinger will not be able to participate in the upcoming match.
Interesting betting trends
- On average, Columbus scores 3.39 goals per game.
