Blue Jackets at Lightning 4/10/19 - NHL Picks & Predictions

The Blue Jackets made the playoffs by the skin of their teeth. However, now because of the fact the Blue Jackets landed the wild card berth, they are now going to have to figure out how to beat the best team in the NHL from the Lightning who have only lost 7 times on their home ice. The one thing the Blue Jackets do have going for them is the fact they are a decent road team and that could help them in this game.

Sergei Bobrovsky is the goalie who will start the playoff match for the Blue Jackets. On the season Bobvrovsky has been able to win 37 games and saved 91.3% of the shots sent his way, but has allowed only 2.58 goals a game. With the Lightning the team has looked unstoppable almost all year and that would definitely explain the great record the team has had. What else has helped the Lightning out most of the year is the fact the offense has been blowing the opponent out of the water and that will definitely help the Lighting out, but the old adage is defense wins championships.

Andrei Vasilevskiy is the goalie projected to start for the Lightning in this game here. He has ended up getting a total of 39 wins, but has saved 92.5% of the shots he has faced. Vasilevskiy has been able to get a goals against average of 2.40 on the year.
