Boston Bruins vs Columbus Blue Jackets Prediction: the Bruins Should Confidently Win

Prediction for the NHL Boston Bruins vs Columbus Blue Jackets match which will take place on March 31st. Who will turn out to be stronger? Check the team conditions! Several betting options are available. 

The Bruins have no reason to fight for the result. Jim Montgomery's team has guaranteed a playoff and will not give anyone the President's Cup. So preparing for the first game of the Stanley Cup is what Boston can do at the finish of the regular season.

Moreover, the defeat of Nashville is not surprising at all. The Predators were playing the match motivated – the team was desperately chasing the playoff zone. 1:2 - it missed only two goals and scored only once. This loss interrupted the Bruins' seven-game winning streak in a row.

Also, the Blue Jackets need to be motivated at the end of the regular season. Although for an entirely different reason – Columbus will have the last place of the Eastern Conference. Did Johnny Gaudreau expect this when he changed Calgary to Columbus before the start of the season?

In the last match, the Blue Jackets got 2-6 from the superstar New York Rangers. Columbus has missed at least 4 pucks in the previous 12 games. 

Boston doesn't solve tournament problems at the end of the regular season, but Columbus isn't motivated, either. According to the statistics of recent games, the Bruins should confidently win against the Blue Jackets. In general, Columbus has played with a difference of more than two goals. Boston has an excellent chance to rehabilitate after the defeat by Nashville.
