Command Analysis
Columbus Blue Jackets
USACurrent form
Columbus was still able to cope with the slump and broke its losing streak, which reached four matches in a row. After the disappointing defeat by the Rangers (3:4), the team continued to perform at home, where they met with one of the main outsiders of the league, in the person of Chicago. As expected, the Blazers took advantage of their competitor's terrible form and defeated the Hawks with a score of 5:1. At the end of the second period, the hosts had a two-goal advantage and only strengthened it until the final whistle. The most productive was first-team defender Verenski, who scored a goal and provided two assists. It is impossible not to mention the efforts of goalkeeper Merzlikin, who reflected 96% of shots, which left no chance for the hawks.
In the final match of the home series, the Blue Jackets had to fight a much more serious opponent, in the person of Dallas. Many predicted the victory of the guests, but Columbus showed the most effective game in attack and was able to compensate for the problems in defense, and in the end won a landslide victory with a score of 6:4. Many players distinguished themselves with effective actions, but it is worth noting the striker Marchenko, who scored two goals and gave an assist. Next, the club went to visit Detroit, where, due to its improved form, it again showed a very active and effective offensive game, defeating the Red Wings with a three-goal difference (5:2). Thanks to the points scored, the team begins to strengthen its position in the playoff zone. She is currently in eighth place, with a four-point advantage over her closest competitor.

Detroit Red Wings
USACurrent form
Detroit has been playing very unstable lately and is mostly losing points. The team played a three-match home series, which began with a crushing 3-6 defeat to Tampa Bay. The opponent didn't create many dangerous chances, but both goalkeepers, Talbot and Lyon, showed a terrible game, reflecting only 70% of shots between the two. The attacking line tried its best to compensate for this disadvantage, but the accuracy of the shots was low. Next, the Red Wings hosted Minnesota, and this time they had excellent chances of success. Everything was heading towards a confident victory for Krylia in regular time, but the opponent first reduced the gap, and then completely equalized the score just a minute before the final whistle. As a result, I had to fail again, but in overtime (3:4). The team was able to break the series of failures and regain some of the lost points in the next match with the obvious outsider, Anaheim. However, this time there were also serious problems at the end of the meeting, it came back to overtime, where they managed to snatch Victoria (5:4). It is impossible not to mention the efforts of striker Kane, who scored a double and gave an assist.
Next, the club went to visit Minnesota, where it took revenge in the return match, winning in regular time (3:2). Krylia allowed the savages to take a significant advantage in the opening segment, but during the meeting they not only equalized the score, but also took the lead. This time, defender Edvinsson showed a great game, scoring a double. It seemed that by returning to the home arena, Detroit consolidated its successes, but this did not happen. In the duel with Columbus, defensive problems arose again, which led to the defeat (2:5). Goalkeeper Talbot played poorly, deflecting only 86% of shots. Despite such unstable results, the club is still in the playoff zone, occupying the seventh place.

Kopp and Pittree will not be able to participate in the upcoming bout due to injuries. Rasmussen is also in question.

1.45Tip and bets
Columbus has recently gained excellent form and continues to delight fans with successful results. What is especially noteworthy is that the jackets confidently perform both at home and away, where they defeated Detroit in the last match. The Red Wings will try their best to take revenge on their opponent, but will they have the strength to do so? We believe that with such an unstable game, the guests will not be able to show themselves in all their glory, and they will also be under pressure from a huge stadium filled mainly with Blue Jackets fans. So we suggest betting in favor of jackets again.
Our betting tip is for Columbus to win the match in 1.91
Bet on the total
Also, in the upcoming match, it is quite possible to expect a large number of abandoned goals. Both teams cannot boast of a reliable defensive game this season and miss a huge number of goals, trying to rehabilitate themselves at the expense of their attacking line. This means that there is a great opportunity to bet on the total more.
Betting Tip - total more than 5.5 goals in 1.69
Betting on the outcome of the first period
Columbus, due to the strong support of the fans, is quite capable of starting to create pressure on Detroit from the very start, which it may not be ready for. We believe that the hosts will seize the advantage at the end of the starting segment.
Prediction - Columbus won in the first period with a handicap (0) in 1.83
