Game Preview
Any hope that the Blues would have had of regaining the Stanley Cup this season already appears to feel as though its over. They are miles off the pace in terms of mounting a playoff challenge, and their form is extremely poor. They come into this round after winning just three of their opening eleven games.
Meanwhile, the Blues have suffered defeats in each of their last six in the NHL. Therefore, no side in the Eastern Conference is currently on a longer losing streak. The Blues have already allowed 48 goals this term, which is the most of any side in the Central Division.
It could be argued that the Blue Jackets have turned a corner in recent weeks after winning each of their last three. They have now gone 6-4-0 across their opening ten games of the season.
They were at their dominant best in their latest outing after recording a 6-3 home success against the Toronto Maple Leafs. Cole Sillinger was a standout performer in that success, scoring twice and adding one assist for good measure.
Blues vs. Blue Jackets Picks
It is challenging to give the visiting Blues much of a chance this weekend based on their recent form in the NHL. Therefore, the logical play is to side with a home win when making Blues vs. Blue Jackets picks.
