Hurricanes at Blue Jackets 1/16/20 - NHL Picks & Predictions

The Hurricanes are coming into the game after starting to fade back to the middle of the pack team in the Metro. The Hurricanes have posted a 27-17-2 record on the year so far. When it comes to playing in the last game the Hurricanes were handed another loss which was a 2-0 shutout to Washington. The Hurricanes are 3-2 in their last 5 games.

The Blue Jackets head into the game here looking fairly impressive in the games they have played lately. Columbus is sitting on a 23-16-8 record on the year. The last game for the Blue Jackets was against the Boston Bruins in what ended up being another shutout win for the Blue Jackets by a 3-0 score.

The Blue Jackets are the hot team and are facing the Hurricanes who have not been playing that hot lately. Look for that to continue in the game here as the Blue Jackets are coming off of back to back shutout games, but also are playing well enough to get the win here as the defense is amazing. The Hurricanes, though, are going to struggle in the game to keep the Blue Jackets upstart offense contained in the game here. Final Score Prediction, Columbus Blue Jackets win 3-1.
