Blue Jackets vs Flyers Prediction

I’m on the Blue Jackets here. This is a Columbus team that keeps on defying the odds that were thrust upon them by a lot of folks (myself included) at the beginning of the season that the Blue Jackets were probably going to be one of the worst teams in hockey. However, this team has easily played their best hockey at home, and over the last couple of weeks, there have been a couple of teams, including the Blue Jackets, that have caught fire. I’m going to keep riding it until I’m given a reason not to, so give me Columbus here.
