The Blue Jackets have managed to really start to pick up from the team they were when the season started. The problem the Blue Jackets have had is the adjustments they have had to make with the way the team is defensively. That often comes from the fact that the Blue Jackets allowed Bobrovsky to leave during the off season, but now the Blue Jackets are adjusted and starting to look quite a bit better than what they have before.

When it comes to scoring the Blue Jackets have relied on Pierre-Luc Dubois who has put in 2 goals and 3 points overall. Alexander Wennberg has managed to get 3 assist on the year for the Blue Jackets. Joonas Korpisalo is the player who has been able to lead the Blue Jackets in net. He has allowed only 2.75 goals a game, but has saved 89.2% of the shots sent towards him.

Blackhawk fans are getting used to the disappointment on the year. This year the Blackhawks have only won a single game on the year and that is definitely a major issue for the Blackhawks who were expected to do quite a bit better than what they have so far on the season. What else helps the Blackhawks is the fact that they are able to rely on Patrick Kane.

Patrick Kane is the leading scorer for the Blackhawks on the year. He has been able to score 2 goals and has 3 assist. The downside is Kane only has 5 points total and still leads the Blackhawks offense. Corey Crawford is the goalie who has picked up a win for the Blackhawks, but he has a 3.40 goals against average and has saved 90% of the shots he has had sent towards him.

With the Blackhawks the team has struggled offensively and has Kane on the ice most of the time to get the scores. The Blue Jackets have been able to spread the puck around quite a bit and that will definitely help the Blue Jackets out in this game here as they are able to come into the game and have a good offensive showing in this game. Final Score Prediction, Columbus Blue Jackets win 3-1.
