Our pick: Columbus – Utah: 1

07.02.2025 01:07

Columbus ended its four-game road trip with a record of two wins and two losses. He can be relatively satisfied with that, even though he was also aiming for a win in the game against Buffalo, but circumstances didn’t exactly play into his hands. The injured Marchenko had to have surgery and Zach Werenski and Dante Fabbro were also given the night off due to minor cuts.

But now the Blue Jackets are also going to play a home game for the first time in a while and welcome Utah to their rink. An opponent on whose ice the team from Ohio managed to win less than a week ago.

Utah broke a five-game losing streak in a row in their last game, beating also struggling Philadelphia. The last few weeks have put a bit of a dent in Utah’s budget. Although this team is in the tenth place in the Western Conference, its loss to the second wild card position has climbed to six points, which will be very difficult to make up with the current form of the squad.

What to bet on:

Columbus should see the return to the lineup of the upstart Zach Werenski, who is the x-factor as to why this team is in playoff contention. Columbus feels they have a really good chance to make it through to the playoffs and will get a valuable two points against Utah.

Trust:

7/10
