Columbus At Pittsburgh NHL Game 1 Winning Predictions
Written by Henry Watkins on April 12, 2017
With the NHL playoffs set to get rolling on Wednesday night, the time has come to start making predictions about who might move on to the later rounds. There are a few series that seem like straightforward calls, but then there are a few that look destined to go the full 7 games. If I had to pick just one series that I am sure will go the distance, it would more than likely be the one that pits the Columbus Blue Jackets against the defending Stanley Cup Champion Pittsburgh Penguins. The Metropolitan Division was far and away the best in the league this year, and it was almost a given that a pair of those heavyweight teams were going to meet in the opening round, which is actually a bit of a pity. The Penguins have proven that they know how to handle the rigors of the postseason, but while the Blue Jackets may be lacking in playoff experience, they are certainly not lacking in talent at both ends of the ice. This should be an epic series, so let’s take a look at the following NHL betting predictions here.
