The Blue Jackets are going to have to get back on the winning path if they would like to control the series here. What is even worse is the Blue Jackets were dominated in the last game by the Bruins. The Blue Jackets offense was missing in the game as the Bruins were able to play a great game and contrary to what they have done in the rest of the series they were able to finally get some of the pucks landed past Bobrovsky in the fourth game of the series. What else caused an issue was the Blue Jackets only managed to score a single goal in the game.

The Blue Jackets offense was missing in the last game, but it should bounce back nicely against the Bruins and put up more offensive push against the Bruins defense. Not to mention the Blue Jackets defense will show up quite a bit better in this game and keep the Bruins offense contained. Final Score, Columbus Blue Jackets win 3-2.
