Colorado Avalanche vs Columbus Blue Jackets Predictions, Odds and Picks for Thursday, 04/03/25

The Colorado Avalanche travel to Columbus to take on the Blue Jackets for the second time this season. Columbus needs to start racking up wins if they want to have a chance of making the playoffs. They have won 3 of their last 4 games, but it’s been thanks to their recent surge in goals. Goaltending hasn’t been very good, so that needs to improve tonight.

Colorado comes into this matchup playing the tail end of a back-to-back and their third game in four nights. It took overtime to get past the Blackhawks, and now, they are facing a team that is 22-9-5 at home. The Avalanche are good, but they don’t have the same firepower on the road and it’s evident. Columbus is the rested team and that will be to its advantage. The Jackets’ consistency in goal is an issue, but if they keep scoring 6 goals a game, that should be enough for them to win hockey games. We’ll take them to secure the win.

Avalanche vs Blue Jackets prediction: Columbus ML (+120) available at time of publishing. Playable at that number.
