Blues vs Blue Jackets predictions
The St. Louis Blues, though off to a shaky start this season, have some sparks of talent in Kasperi Kapanen, who's already lighting up the scoreboard with a goal under his belt. As they face the Columbus Blue Jackets at Nationwide Arena, eyes will also be on young Zach Dean, who showed his playmaking skills with an assist. These players could very well turn up the heat tonight. The question is, will Kapanen's agility and Dean's keen eye for passes be enough to get the Blues back on track?
Turning to the Columbus Blue Jackets, Mathieu Olivier is the man to watch. Pacing his team with both a goal and a point, Olivier’s knack for finding the net could create serious challenges for the opposing defense. His performance on home ice will be crucial, especially with the Blue Jackets seeking their first win of the season. You've got to wonder, will Olivier’s offensive prowess be the catalyst for a spirited fight from the Blue Jackets?
Given both teams’ less-than-ideal start to the season, tonight's matchup is all about redemption for either side. While the Blues may have a slight edge in experience, playing away isn't always easy, especially against a team that's equally hungry for that first 'W'. Coupled with the home crowd's energy buoying the Blue Jackets, I'd wager that Columbus might just have what it takes to edge out St. Louis in what promises to be a fiercely contested game. Who do you think will take the game tonight?
