Why the Blue Jackets Might Outsmart the Flames in an Unexpected Showdown

The Columbus Blue Jackets are off to a decent enough start with a 7-5-0 record. You aren’t going to see people praising them or telling everyone to go out and place a ticket on them for the Stanley Cup, but they are good enough for the moment. The team is led in points, goals, and assists by Kirill Marchenko. I seldom like to rely on a team that is led in all three categories by one guy. I know it is common, but I personally just think it is a recipe for disaster. Looking at their stats, the team is allowing 34 shot attempts per game, which is only two more than they are taking. For now, the team is ahead of pace in scoring as opposed to goals allowed, but it is 3.25 goals scored per game compared to 3.00 allowed. That’s also not something that I put a lot of confidence in. Additionally. The Blue Jackets are 4-1 over their last five games. Meaning that just over a week ago, they were 3-4-0. This was a bit of a hot stretch with a couple of overtime victories. It is expected that Jet Greaves will be in the net tonight for the Blue Jackets. He is 3-3-0 for the season with a .916 save percentage and 2.68 goals allowed.
