LiontipsColumbus Blue Jackets - Pittsburgh Penguins. NHL match betting tip and bets
Command Analysis
Current form
Columbus has already played three matches in the preseason and started it very successfully. In the first match, the team faced St. Louis and defeated Notts with a score of 4:1. Striker Voronkov showed a great game, scoring a goal and giving two assists. However, the success of the club has come to an end so far. The Blue Jackets faced Buffalo twice and were defeated 0-4 and 1-2, respectively. Let's remind that the jackets were not active in the transfer market and signed only three players in the off-season, and none of them had a great game last season.
Current form
Major changes in the club were brewing even before last season, but after the final failure, Pittsburgh nevertheless replaced the head coach with Muse, who previously worked as an assistant at the Rangers. It is impossible not to mention the newcomers of the team in the person of Shilov, Manta, Clifton, Damba and Bras. However, it is still difficult to say exactly how such changes will help penguins to rehabilitate themselves. So far, the team has played only one match in the preseason, losing to Montreal in a shootout (1:2).

1.60Tip and bets
Yes, Columbus played unsuccessfully in two matches with Buffalo, but still, do not forget that the club began the preseason with a confident victory over a fairly serious opponent. Now the Blue Jackets will be playing in their home arena, where they have every chance to rehabilitate themselves in front of the fans. We believe that the jackets will not experiment and will play with a composition close to optimal, which will allow them to confidently cope with the guests.
Our prediction is the victory of the Columbus Blue Jackets in 2.17
