The Columbus Blue Jackets shocked the National Hockey League in the playoffs a year ago, as they entered as the second wild card in the Eastern Conference and swept the Atlantic Division champion Tampa Bay Lightning in four games. They are knocking on the postseason door again this year; if the season ended today, they would hold the first wild card in the East but are just one point out of third place in the Metropolitan Division — and just three points out of second. On Valentine’s Day they host the New York Rangers, currently in seventh place in the Metropolitan and nine points out of the second wild card. The Rangers have a three-game winning streak and have won six of ten, while the Blue Jackets have lost three straight (although they have gotten points in two of those setbacks). Can the Rangers keep that winning streak going, or will the Blue Jackets defend their home ice? Don’t miss our sports betting preview of this Eastern Conference clash. Let’s see how the NHL betting odds will be for the Rangers vs Blue Jackets.
