The Boston Bruins and the Columbus Blue Jackets meet Sunday in NHL action from the Nationwide Arena. We will look at this from a betting perspective and determine the best bets for this game. Here’s a Boston Bruins vs. Columbus Blue Jackets prediction.
The Boston Bruins come into this game looking to bounce back from a 2-1 loss at the hands of the Tampa Bay Lightning to sit at 43-27-10 this season. After this game, the Bruins will head home for a date with the New Jersey Devils.
David Pastrnak leads the Bruins in scoring with 99 points including 29 goals and a team-high 70 assists while Morgan Geekie has 67 points with a team-high 38 goals and 29 assists and Pavel Zacha has 64 points with 30 goals and 34 assists.

Jeremy Swayman’s gone 30-18-4 with a 2.76 GAA and a .906 save percentage in goal for the Bruins while Joonas Korpisalo is 13-9-5 with a 3.19 GAA and an .892 save percentage so far this season.
The Columbus Blue Jackets come into this game looking to add on to their 5-2 win over Montreal last time out to sit at 40-28-12 this season. After this game, the Blue Jackets will take on the Washington Capitals at home.
Zach Werenski has 81 points with 22 goals and a team-high 59 assists while Dmitri Voronkov has 17 goals and 15 assists for his 32 points. Kirill Marchenko has 67 points with 27 goals and 40 assists and Charlie Coyle has 58 points with 20 goals and 38 assists. Adam Fantilli has 58 points with 23 goals and 35 assists of his own while Sean Monahan has 36 points with 13 goals and 23 assists. Jet Greaves has gone 26-17-9 with a 2.60 GAA and a .908 save percentage while Elvis Merzlikins has gone 14-11-3 with a 3.40 GAA and an .883 save percentage between the pipes for Columbus so far this season.
I’m on the Blue Jackets in this one. Boston clinched in their last game despite the loss and I think their focus is just on the postseason now. Columbus is on the outside looking in and needs a win here to keep their playoff hopes alive. All in all, I think this is a Columbus W so give me the Blue Jackets.
