Prediction for the NHL Pittsburgh Penguins vs Columbus Blue Jackets match will occur on March 22. Who will turn out to be stronger? Check the team conditions! Several betting options are available.

Pittsburgh Penguins

Towards the end of the season, Pittsburgh got their act together and started winning. Such results should have come sooner when the team had no problems in the Eastern Conference standings. The Penguins sit in 14th place with 66 points, eight behind eighth-placed Montreal. Mike Sullivan's men have beaten Minnesota, Vegas, St. Louis, and New Jersey in their last five meetings, but the Islanders have not been strong enough.

Columbus Blue Jackets

Columbus is in deep trouble. The team with all the resources to make the playoffs has lost its last five games. On the eve of their trip to Pittsburgh, the Jackets find themselves in 11th place, three points adrift of the Cup zone. Montreal's lead is not huge, so there is still time for Dean Evason's men to make up ground. The Blue Jackets made a point in their last outing, drawing in regulation time with Florida.
