Columbus Blue Jackets vs St. Louis Blues Prediction: Does No Pressure Mean Victory?

Prediction for the NHL Columbus Blue Jackets vs St. Louis Blues match which will take place on March 12th. Who will turn out to be stronger? Check the team conditions! Several betting options are available. 

Before the meeting with St. Louis, the Blue Jackets played an exciting match against the Penguins. Columbus led 4-0 already at the beginning of the second period. However, then the main goalkeeper of the Blue Jackets, Elvis Merzļikins, was injured, and Michael Hutchinson, who replaced him, was not so trustworthy. Pittsburgh took the victory in overtime – 5:4. At least Columbus showed great offense and gave the fans a show. There are no other tasks for Brad Larsen's team at the regular season's finish.

Without Vladimir Tarasenko, the Blues left the fight for the playoffs this season. Although the lineup of St. Louis still allows for bright matches. It happened in the previous game of Craig Berube's team, where they beat San Jose. This victory was the second for the Blues out of the last ten matches.

St. Louis is not such a strong team to consider it a favorite, even in a game with Columbus. Therefore, the bets on the Blue Jackets here are high. The meeting will be productive – neither Jordan Binnington nor Michael Hutchinson can be called reliable goalkeepers.
