Fri Mar 21 22:40:00 UTC 2025: ## NHL Analyst Predicts Low-Scoring Affair in Blue Jackets-Penguins Matchup

**Pittsburgh, PA – March 21, 2024** – Sports betting analyst Josh Inglis is predicting a low-scoring game between the Columbus Blue Jackets and the Pittsburgh Penguins tonight, favoring an under on the Blue Jackets’ team total and a points over for Penguins players Evgeni Malkin and Philip Tomasino.

Inglis, a contributor to Covers and known for his expertise in player props, is bearish on the Columbus offense, citing their recent struggles. The Blue Jackets have scored only one goal in their last four games and are coming off a 0-4 home stand. Their fatigue, playing their seventh game in twelve days, further contributes to his pessimistic outlook. He also notes that the Blue Jackets’ road offense is significantly weaker than their home offense. He recommends betting the Blue Jackets team total under 2.5 goals (+120 odds at bet365).

Conversely, Inglis is bullish on the Penguins’ offensive potential, particularly from Malkin and Tomasino. He believes the pair, playing on the second line and second power-play unit, will accumulate at least one point each. This correlated bet, priced at +325 at bet365, is based on their projected ice time and the anticipated struggles of the Blue Jackets’ goalie, Daniil Tarasov, who is considered a weaker performer.

Inglis emphasizes the importance of securing favorable odds by betting early and utilizing multiple sportsbooks. He cautions readers to check local laws regarding online sports betting before placing any wagers. He highlights his preference for bet365 due to its wide selection of player prop markets.
