This is a complete mismatch between the best and worst teams in the league.
Not only are the Bruins the best team right now, they are putting up one of the greatest regular seasons in NHL history. They’ve already claimed the titles of being the fastest team to reach 50 wins and 100 points but there is still more history at stake. With eight games to go, they are six wins from breaking the record for the most wins in a single season (Record currently set at 62 wins). With 119 points on the season, they are still within reach of breaking the record for most points in a single season (Record currently set at 132 points).
In order to do that though, they would need to get back on their winning ways and that starts with this game against Columbus.
The Blue Jackets are already eliminated from playoff contention and currently have the best odds in the Connor Bedard sweepstakes.
Columbus Blue Jackets
The Blue Jackets have posted a dreadful 23-43-7 record overall and a second-worst road record of 9-23-5 so far this season. They’ve won just twice in their past seven tries and have allowed four or more goals against in each of those seven contests. Columbus has allowed 14 goals against in their last two games alone.
Offense
Even with the addition of Johnny Gaudreau in the offseason, it wasn’t enough to get them out of the bottom five in terms of offensive production. With the 29th ranked offense, Columbus is scoring an average of 2.70 goals per game and have a 22nd ranked power play that has put up a 19.4% conversion rate.
While Boone Jenner leads the team with 25 goals this season, it’s Johnny Hockey who ranks first on the teams with 69 points in 71 games.
One interesting stat line is that of rookie Kirill Marchenko who has a solid 20 goals but just 3 assists in 50 games this season.

Defense
On the back end, it’s been pretty brutal for ol’ CBJ. They’ve got the second-worst defense which is averaging nearly 4.00 goals against per game at 3.97 each contest. Add to the fact that they’re allowing the third-most amount of shots against with 35.2 per game this season and it’s no wonder they’re giving up so many goals.
Their penalty kill sits in the 21st slot in the league, operating at a 75.6% kill rate.
Goaltending
The Blue Jackets have the 27th worst save percentage in the league at .887 so far this year.
Each of the remaining three goaltenders for Columbus have a goals against average above 3.90 and a save percentage below .893 on the season with a combined 12 wins.
Boston Bruins
Just like Hulkamania, the Bruins have been running wild this season with just a single loss in their most recent 8 games.
They have an incredible 57-12-5 record on the year and are absolute beasts at home with a 30-4-3 tally at TD Garden. With a win here, they can clinch the Presidents Trophy as the top team in the league for the fourth time in franchise history.
Offense
Boston is behind only Edmonton in terms of offensive production this season. They have the 2nd ranked offense which is averaging 3.69 goals scored per game and a 15th ranked power play that is operating at 21.6% this season.
David Pastrnak is second in the league in goals with 52 and leads the team in points with 98 this season.
Defense
On defense, it’s the Bruins who are in top spot after averaging just 2.11 goals against per contest and they also hold the best penalty kill which has an 86.2% success rate.
Goaltending
The Bruins have the top team save percentage in the league at .929.
Linus Ullmark and Jeremy Swayman have been the best tandem of the year with Vezina Trophy favourite Ullmark carrying the bulk of the load. He ranks first in the league with a 36-6-1 record, a 1.90 goals against average and a .937 save percentage.
