Columbus Blue Jackets (25-19-7, 57 points, 4th metropolitan, 8th east)
at
Hockey Club in Utah (21-21-8, 50 points, 5th Central, 10th West)
After taking down Vegas in from, the jackets continue on their way to their first visit to the former coyotes in Arizona.
Players to watch
Logan Tower
After the injury of Dylan Guenter, the 3rd total choice in draft 2022 is filled as the center for the highest order for Jutan. Many of the best elections in the draft in 2022 have so far driven, but Kulie has begun to make a strong case as the best player in this class. He is second in the team of points this season (15-28-43) and is far ahead of the other top 5 choice of this project: Slafkovski, Nemek, Wright and Gauthier. He is an undervalued player with very hockey sense and skills.
A few words from Cory Pronman Pre-Rraft athletics: “Coley is a dynamic player. When he has the washer on his stick, you immediately notice him because of his speed, skill and offensive coefficient of high -end intelligence. It can make extremely creative decks and pass at full speed. “
Jacket notes
Not much news with late back west, just rumors of the interest of the Elias Petterson jackets (F) of Vancouver Cancks (F). Let’s check the projected CBJ playoff coefficients from some of the more famous public models.
DOM in the athletic: 36%
Hockey: 40.9%
MoneyPuck: 22.5%
DraftKings Sports Book Project implies the odds: 27.8%
The other bench
Utah sits 10th in the west and on the border of the playoff photo in the first season in Salt Lake. The more exciting news is that the organization has recently lost the battle with the US Patent Service for Rights on the name “Utah Yeti”. Earlier this week, a survey was sent by the Utah organization asking fans to choose their favorite among: Mammoth, Hockey Club in Utah and Wasatch (the local mountain range). But there were clear reviews that “Wasatch” was undesirable and a new study was released, which replaced it by the name “Outlaws”.
Personally, I like Utah Mamut. What is your choice for the new Utah mascot between Mamut, out of law or simple, hockey club?
