Jose Ramon Exposito recommends a forecast for the NHL.
The Columbus Blue Jackets and St Louis Blues face off at Nationwide Arena on Saturday night.
Both teams hold positive records being their main weapon the offense, this is clearly reflected in the average of goals achieved 3.24 for Blue Jackets and 3.52 for The St. Louis Blues, but there are very marked differences when we break down these numbers in decisive circumstances where the Blues are much superior being the best team in the league in shooting effectiveness getting scoring on 11.5% of the occasions which represents a high level of success considering that they average 30.6 shots per game, they are also extremely effective in power play plays , occupying the third best mark during the season converting 25.6% of their opportunities, a noteworthy aspect for the Jackets is the increase in their effectiveness playing at home getting 3.5 goals per game and leaving a mark of 22-8 in the Over / Under ratio at home.
The veteran player Ryan O'Reilly has been a participant of 26 assists during the season, showing an unproductive start but that was improving little by little, he comes from two meetings without getting involved effectively but this did not happen since January 15 so, he is in an unbeatable position against a team that allows so many facilities in defense and can get a scoring tune with his teammates especially in numerical superiority plays such as the power play.
