Betting Tip
The Pittsburgh Penguins have gone from a team out of the playoff picture to only 5 points shy of the top of the conference. The Blue Jackets are still theoretically in the playoff picture and they are pushing hard for that last playoff spot.
Still, the Penguins are the better team and will not miss this opportunity to get closer to the top. Pittsburgh is dominating the Blue Jackets in the last couple of years and they will add another win with at least 4 goals in Columbus’ net.
