It's sure to be an exciting Blue Jackets vs Wild matchup and we have you covered with our best bet for this game on the ice.
This game is the season opener for both of these teams, with both of these teams looking to improve after dismal campaigns a season ago. Both of these teams finished in the bottom-two in their respective divisions and were nowhere near making the postseason. Columbus was especially bleak last season, as they were one of just two teams in the NHL to allow 300 or more goals as a team a season ago. The San Jose Sharks were the only other team to give up more goals than Columbus last season, which is not company that you wanted to keep last year given how bad the Sharks were.
Meanwhile, Minnesota was not as bad as their place in the standings would lead one to believe. The Wild had a goal difference of -12 for the season last year, as they were mostly competitive despite finishing below .500 both at home and on the road. If Minnesota wants to have any shot at making the playoffs this year, winning games like this one is going to be so important, as they cannot afford to pass up points against some of the worst teams in the league.
Blue Jackets vs Wild Prediction
In this Blue Jackets vs Wild game, we will lay the goal and a half with the Wild on the puckline. Minnesota was by no means great a season ago, but they were at least a competent professional hockey team, while the Blue Jackets looked nothing like that for large portions of last season. Look for the Wild to get started on the right foot here against a Columbus team that went 10-24-7 on the road last year.
