The Columbus Blue Jackets face the Boston Bruins with both teams on opposite ends of the standings to close out the season. The Blue Jackets have a 23-43-7 record and with back-to-back losses, they have the worst record in the Eastern Conference. The Bruins have a 57-12-5 record and with seven wins in their last 10 games, they have the best record in the Eastern Conference and the NHL. Both teams are looking to close out the month and the season on a high note and the upcoming game should be a good one.
The Blue Jackets are one of the league's worst teams with their offense struggling and scoring only 2.70 goals per game including only four goals in the last two games. Johnny Gaudreau, Boone Jenner, and Patrik Laine have scored 66 goals and 99 assists but the rest of the offense has struggled. Only five skaters have 11 goals or more and opponents can eliminate the hapless offense as a result.
The offense has struggled but the defense has been awful, allowing 3.97 goals per game with 14 goals in the last two games. Andrew Peeke and Erik Gudbranson have combined for 3.1 defensive point shares but the rest of the unit has struggled, allowing opponents to find open shots on the net at will. In addition, goaltender Elvis Merzlikins has struggled with a .876 save percentage and a 4.23 goals-against average on 889 shots with -24.7 goals saved above average.
