The Columbus Blue Jackets and Nashville Predators meet Tuesday in NHL action at the Bridgestone Arena. The Columbus Blue Jackets look for a win after winning five of their last seven games. The Nashville Predators look for a win after splitting their last 12 games.

The Columbus Blue Jackets are averaging 3.4 goals per game and are scoring on 19.6 percent of their power play opportunities. Boone Jenner leads Columbus with 10 goals, Jakub Voracek has 17 assists and Zach Werenski has 62 shots on goal. Defensively, the Columbus Blue Jackets are allowing 2.9 goals per game and are killing 83.6 percent of their opponent’s power plays. Elvis Merzlikins has allowed 29 goals on 408 shots faced, and Joonas Korpisalo has allowed 28 goals on 241 shots.

The Nashville Predators are averaging 2.7 goals per game and are scoring on 25 percent of their power play opportunities. Matt Duchene leads Nashville with 13 goals, Mikael Granlund has 16 assists and Roman Josi has 64 shots on goal. Defensively, the Nashville Predators are allowing 3 goals per game and are killing 77.9 percent of their opponent’s power plays. Juuse Saros has allowed 41 goals on 497 shots faced, and Connor Ingram has allowed 6 goals on 64 shots.

The Blue Jackets are 16-36 in their last 52 road games and 5-2 in their last 7 overall. The Predators are 5-1 in their last 6 home games and 7-3 in their last 10 Tuesday games. The over is 10-2 in Blue Jackets last 12 overall. The over is 4-1 in Predators last 5 overall. The Blue Jackets are 5-29 in the last 34 meetings in Nashville and 18-48 in the last 66 meetings.

The Columbus Blue Jackets have not been good on the road dating back to last season, and they’ve had little success against the Predators over the years. The Nashville Predators have won 20 of their last 26 games as a home favorite. So, while the Blue Jackets have had more success over the last week or so, I have to side with the Preds and the reasonable juice.
