With the east’s final wild card berth unresolved as two games remain, tonight postseason hopeful Colombus visits the upset-minded New York Rangers.
Tuesday, Boston snapped the Blue Jackets’ five game winning streak and immediate playoff chances. The Bruins outclassed Colombus in all areas while registering a 5-2 win. Now, running out of regular season, the Blue Jackets are neck and neck with Montreal and Carolina for wildcard honors.
New York, long eliminated from playoff contention, has no such problem and would love to ruin Colombus’ plans.
Colombus holds a narrow 2-1 head to head lead vs. New York this season, so the SU play could be valuable here. These Eastern Conference rivals used a shoot out and an overtime to settle things this season. The Blue Jackets defeated New York 7-5 in regulation when these teams last met on Jan. 13
Columbus Blue Jackets
It’s getting late for Colombus to avoid an early offseason. Further, Colombus’ final two regular season games come on the road and the first is against a New York squad which gives the Jackets fits. While Colombus has a solid defense and the Rangers do not, offense somehow takes center stage when the puck drops during an 18-19 Blue Jackets v Rangers encounter.

Overall, Colombus holds a 15-13 scoring edge against New York this year as each club’s goalie and defensive line takes a nap when they meet.
To hang in the playoff picture the Blue Jacket’s #11 defense must show up vs. the NHL’s 23rd ranked offense.
New York Rangers
New York enters tonight’s pivotal contest having lost two straight following a two game winning streak. Offensive futility has plagued the Rangers as they recently dropped a 4-1 blowout vs. Ottawa.

The Rangers have been outscored 8-3 by a pair of eighth place teams the last two times they’ve taken the ice. Will that trend hold tonight? Or, will NY light the lamps again opposite Colombus?
