Columbus Blue Jackets NHL Preview
The Columbus Blue Jackets approach their March 29, 2025, matchup against the Ottawa Senators with a record of 31-29-9, positioning them sixth in the Metropolitan Division. Their recent form has been concerning, with a six-game losing streak, including a 6-3 defeat to the Pittsburgh Penguins on March 21, where they conceded three goals in a span of just over a minute during the first period. Offensively, the Blue Jackets have struggled, being shut out in four of their last seven games, including a 1-0 overtime loss to the Florida Panthers on March 20. Captain Boone Jenner has been a key contributor, though his goal against the Panthers was disallowed due to a kicking motion. The team will need increased production from forwards like Adam Fantilli and James van Riemsdyk to bolster their scoring.
Defensively, Columbus has faced challenges, allowing an average of 3.27 goals per game. Goaltender Elvis Merzļikins has a goals-against average (GAA) of 3.03 and a save percentage of .896 over 47 games. His performance will be critical in stabilizing the team’s defense and providing a foundation for potential victories. Special teams have been an area of concern, with the Blue Jackets’ power play operating at a low efficiency and their penalty kill struggling to contain opposing teams. Improving these aspects will be essential for Columbus to compete effectively against Ottawa. In preparation for the Senators, the Blue Jackets will need to focus on generating consistent offensive pressure, tightening their defensive structure, and capitalizing on special teams opportunities. Breaking their current losing streak requires a collective effort and a return to disciplined, cohesive play.

Ottawa Senators NHL Preview
The Ottawa Senators enter their March 29, 2025, matchup against the Columbus Blue Jackets with a 38-28-5 record, positioning them in the thick of the Eastern Conference playoff race. Their success this season can be attributed to a combination of offensive depth, defensive solidity, and consistent goaltending. Offensively, the Senators are led by forward Tim Stützle, who has amassed 68 points, including 20 goals and 48 assists. Stützle’s dynamic playmaking and scoring ability have been central to Ottawa’s attack. Captain Brady Tkachuk complements this with 27 goals and 38 assists, providing a strong presence in both the offensive and defensive zones. The Senators’ power play has been effective, operating at a 24% success rate, which places them among the league’s upper echelon. This proficiency with the man advantage has been instrumental in securing crucial victories throughout the season.
Defensively, Ottawa has been robust, allowing an average of 2.87 goals per game. This defensive strength is underpinned by the performance of goaltender Linus Ullmark, who has recorded a 2.66 goals-against average (GAA) and a .911 save percentage over 45 games. Ullmark’s reliability between the pipes has provided the Senators with confidence in close contests. The defensive corps, led by Jake Sanderson, who averages 24:23 time on ice per game, has been effective in suppressing opposing offenses and facilitating quick transitions to offense. Their ability to read the game and make timely interventions has been a hallmark of Ottawa’s defensive strategy. At home, the Senators have demonstrated resilience, with a 5-5 record against the spread in their last 10 games. This home-ice advantage has been a significant factor in their overall success this season. In preparation for the Blue Jackets, the Senators will focus on neutralizing Columbus’s top offensive threats and exploiting their defensive vulnerabilities. Maintaining discipline, executing their game plan effectively, and capitalizing on scoring opportunities will be key factors in securing a favorable outcome in this critical late-season contest.
