Time: 5 p.m. Eastern Daylight Time (EDT)
Our second game of NHL prediction is a pivotal game between the Boston Bruins and the Columbus Blue Jackets. Joonas Korpisalo is expected to draw the start against his former team on Sunday night. Boston is 6-2-2 in their last 10 games, including a massive win over the Minnesota Wild on Saturday. David Pastrnak has been averaging a point a game in the last 10 games.
Jet Greaves is the likely starter for the Blue Jackets, who are 6-3-1 in their last 10 games. However, Columbus has dropped its last two games in a row. The Jackets currently hold the second wild card spot, but both the Ottawa Senators and the Detroit Red Wings are one point behind coming into Sunday’s games. Kirill Marchenko is first in goals (25) and points (59).
This is a critical game in the standings. However, the Bruins should get the critical two points.
Prediction: Bruins win 5-2.
