The Rangers are coming into this game with a 32-28-6 record this season and they have not been playing well in their recent games. They are coming off of a 3-2 win on the road in OT against the Wild and they have worked their way back into this playoff race, but prior to that win they had lost 4 straight games. They have also struggled more on the road recently as they have lost 2 of their last 3 road games. They are going up against a Blue Jackets team that is 31-26-8 this season and they have not been playing well in their recent games either. They have lost their last 2 straight as well as 4 of their last 5 games, but their only win in that span was a 7-3 road win against the Rangers so they are going to have some confidence here to bounce back. They have been awful in their recent games, but they have been much better at home as they have won 3 of their last 4 games there, scoring 5+ goals in 3 of those 4 games, and they have been much better at home all season as well. They are also coming off of a 4-0 loss at home to the Knights in their last game so they are going to have a response here after getting shut out on their own home ice. The Blue Jackets have actually lost 2 of their last 3 meetings with the Rangers this season, but they won the last meeting 7-3 on the road just last week and this is a big game for them to stay ahead of the Rangers in the Wild Card race. The Blue Jackets will win this game at home.
