Columbus Blue Jackets play in the Eastern Metropolitan.
Columbus Blue Jackets overview
The Columbus Blue Jackets joined the NHL in 2000 and play in the Metropolitan Division at Nationwide Arena in downtown Columbus. The franchise has not won a Stanley Cup, but its 2019 first-round sweep of a record-setting Tampa Bay team remains one of the biggest playoff upsets of the modern era. Columbus is a smaller market that tends to draw limited national betting attention, which can create pricing differences across sportsbooks. The arena's cannon, fired after goals, is one of the league's signature traditions.
Betting insights
Columbus games often fly under the radar, which means early-week lines can move as sharp money comes in. When the Blue Jackets are underdogs, the moneyline at plus money is often a cleaner bet than the puck line. Metropolitan Division travel is mostly short, though Columbus faces long trips to the West Coast. As always, goalie confirmation is the biggest single factor in totals and sides. Watch for back-to-backs and the first home game after a long road trip, which can be flat spots for any team.
