Prediction
The New York Rangers could definitely steal this game, but I’d bet on the Jackets taking this one.
A score of 4-2 seems attainable with maybe an empty netter coming at the end. I wouldn’t expect this game to have the slow start that Tuesday’s game did.
This Blue Jackets team is establishing a legit home ice advantage at Nationwide Arena. From the cannon, to the C-B-J chants and finishing with the hug, opposing teams are taking notice.
Winning their first home game 5-0 doesn’t hurt either. The fans should bring some leftover energy to help support the team tonight.
Not everything will go as planned for this game, but the Blue Jackets should find a way to win. The Rangers are the complete opposite of hot right now, which helps a lot too.
