Columbus Blue Jackets Set to Clash with Montreal Canadiens at Bell Centre

As the Columbus Blue Jackets gear up for their next challenge at the Bell Centre, fans are eager to see if they can maintain their recent momentum. The Blue Jackets have displayed a mixed bag of results in their last few outings, but there are positive signs that suggest they could be turning a corner.

In their most recent game against the New York Islanders, Columbus showcased an impressive offensive performance, netting five goals on 27 shots. This victory was particularly notable for its powerplay strength; two of those goals came with a man advantage. However, despite this win and an 18 percent shooting efficiency in that game, consistency remains an issue.

Looking back further to their encounter with the Washington Capitals, Columbus managed to score seven times from 39 shots – another demonstration of potent attacking prowess. Yet again though, it was a close affair ending in overtime with just one goal separating them from the Capitals.

However, not all has been smooth sailing for the Blue Jackets. A trip to Las Vegas proved challenging as they were outplayed by the Golden Knights. Scoring only twice on 37 shots and conceding seven suggests there are defensive vulnerabilities that need addressing – especially considering they were minus fifteen in plus/minus rating during that game.

The upcoming match presents both an opportunity and a test for Columbus as they face off against Montreal Canadiens on their home ice – a venue known for its passionate fans and intense atmosphere which could influence play.

Fans can catch this exciting NHL matchup live on March 25th at 23:00 UTC at Bell Centre or tune into various broadcast networks including ESPN+, TVAS, BSOH (channel 660), CITY and SNE.
