The Boston Bruins lead the NHL in goal differential in the third period, so when the team with the best home record in the league took a 2-0 advantage into the third period against Los Angeles on Thursday night, the Bruins picking up two more points seemed inevitable. However, a late 5-on-3 power play given to the Kings helped Los Angeles force…

Not only have the Sabres been piling up goals of late, but they also have a great history against Columbus netminder Joonas Korpisalo. Expect this Buffalo offense to once again be the best unit on the ice Wednesday night. In the first game of TNT's weekly Wednesday night double-header, there is an Eastern Conference tilt between the Columbus Blue…

Columbus certainly should be comfortable on home ice as the seven road games played by the Blue Jackets are the fewest in the league. However, they are 0-2-1 in the last three games at home. The hope for Columbus is that momentum off a win in Winnipeg will carry over into this game. Five of the last six games between the teams had at least seven…

The National Hockey League will determine the top two picks in the 2022 NHL Draft on Tuesday via a weighted lottery. The Chicago Blackhawks are a team involved and there are a lot of implications surrounding their results. Blackhawks fans might remember the 2007 NHL Draft Lottery.

ELMONT, N.Y. - The Blue Jackets were short seven regulars, including their top defense pairing, and five of them began the season in the American Hockey League. That's important to note after the Jackets stood toe-to-toe with the New York Islanders in a 4-3 overtime loss Saturday night at UBS Arena, where the patchwork Columbus group nearly pulled…

Death, taxes, and the Toronto Maple Leafs being maddeningly frustrating. Three of the absolute truths in life as Toronto continues a roller-coaster of inconsistent play, most recently taking two ugly losses at home. The offense has been fantastic, the defense has been bad, and the goaltending has been the stuff of nightmares for the Leafs... but…

The Colorado Avalanche will host the Columbus Blue Jackets on Friday, November 4, with the Blue Jackets having lost three straight games. The most recent betting lines show that the Blue Jackets are on the moneyline and the Avalanche are to win this matchup. This contest has an over/under of goals.

There's no way to sugarcoat it. The Blue Jackets are 3-7-0 after a terrible, horrible, no good, very bad start to this NHL season and there's a chance it gets even worse with back-to-back games Friday and Saturday against the Colorado Avalanche in Tampere, Finland. The Avalanche are also sputtering at 4-4-1, but can blame their Stanley Cup hangover…

Luke Richardson has 10 games in the book as coach of the Chicago Blackhawks, and there's still a lot to learn about his team's identity. The Hawks (4-4-2) have been equal parts scrappy overachievers and a collection of parts thrown together in a rebuild. So what has stood out? The Hawks have no obvious replacement for Alex DeBrincat, who was traded…

The Bruins are a strong squad off to a fantastic start, but they're also the road team gearing up for the second half of a back-to-back and their third game in four days. The odds are showing Boston as the favorite, but is fatigue reason enough for you to side with Columbus instead? Let's start with what makes the Bruins such a force in the first…

SUNRISE - The Florida Panthers held a spirited practice at FLA Live Arena on Wednesday morning, a day after suffering a rare loss on home ice. The Panthers have only lost four games in Sunrise this season, so while they weren't feeling blue or anything like that, they certainly had a purpose in their work. "I don't think anyone is happy and I…

Last season: 37-38-7, 6th Metro, 21st overall. GF: 14th, GA: 28th, PP: 24th, PK: 20th. Never count out the Jackets. With a "why not us?" mentality that seeps through the organization starting from…

They're 2-5-1 in December, have dropped to the brink of early elimination from the playoff race in the Eastern Conference and need to string some wins together if they want to keep their postseason hopes alive. They're also dealing with a COVID-19 outbreak that sent six players into isolation prior to the NHL's holiday break. That doesn't bode well…
