LiontipsPittsburgh Penguins - Columbus Blue Jackets: NHL match betting tip and bets
Command Analysis
Current form
Pittsburgh started the season as if it had received an invigorating cup of coffee and a boost of inspiration in the morning. On October 24, the Penguins confidently beat the Florida Panthers on the road — 5:3. Sidney Crosby was again in the role of conductor: two goals in the majority and an assist. It seems that time has no control over him — he still sees the ice, feels the game and makes his partners better around him.
The beginning turned out to be bright: already in the first period, Crosby opened the scoring. In the second, Rickard Rakell and rookie Ben Kindel added a goal apiece, and in the third, Connor Dewar finally cleared the questions about the winner. Goalkeeper Tristan Jarry blocked 34 of 37 shots and earned the applause. This is the fourth victory in a row, and with a 6-2-0 record, the team has firmly established itself at the top of the Capital Division table.

Current form
Columbus is still living on a day-to-day basis. On October 25, the Blue Jackets lost at home to Washington with a score of 1:5. The first period passed cheerfully and on equal terms, but then the defense cracked. At the end of the second period, they missed, and everything went downhill. In the third, the Capitals simply crushed the opponent, especially in the majority game.
If you look for a ray of light in this dark tunnel, it was the young defender Denton Mateychuk. The guy scored his second goal in two games and showed that Columbus has a future. Sean Monahan helped with a beautiful pass, and goalkeeper Jet Greaves, despite 25 saves, could not hold back the onslaught. In the Capital Division table, the team has a modest result so far — 3-4-0.

1.80Tip and bets
The history of meetings between Pittsburgh and Columbus is like a match of a champion against a strong middle peasant. The Penguins are firmly in the lead, especially on Columbus' home ice, where they have prevailed in 34 games. On October 26, Pittsburgh approaches the match with a powerful attack and excellent form, despite injuries to Kevin Hayes and several players of the base. Columbus will miss Miles Wood and Luca Marrelli, which makes their defense even more vulnerable. The Blue Jackets' attack is not impressive yet, and it will be difficult for them against the overclocked Penguins.
Our prediction is that Pittsburgh will win in 2.35
