- These teams are seventh and eighth in the Metro Division, but the Devils have been much better than the Blue Jackets throughout the season.
- Columbus is tied for the worst goal differential in the Eastern Conference this season.
Going into the Devils vs Blue Jackets game from Columbus on Friday night, these two teams are separated by just one spot in the Metropolitan Division standings. But that could change with a Devils win in this matchup, as New Jersey could move up two spots with a victory. We expect that to happen here and for the Devils to cover the puckline against an inferior opponent.
