Red Wings present challenges for Blue Jackets, coach Gerard Gallant
Detroit can extend its win streak to 5 games Saturday, while the host Blue Jackets will be looking to snap it.
Columbus brings a 2-5-0 overall mark (1-0-0 in the division) into this game versus a Detroit team carrying a 7-1-0 record.
Oddsmakers like the Red Wings in this one, opening the line at 195 in favor of Detroit. They are 7-1-0 this season, while the Blue Jackets are 2-5-0. The total is 1-6-0 to the OVER in Blue Jackets games.
Last time out, the Red Wings defeated the Mighty Ducks 3-2 as 110 underdogs. That contest went under the closing total.
Gerard Gallant's team was busy last game winning against San Jose 4-1 as 150 favorites. The 5 goals sent that game under the total of 6.
You can't expect much in the way of offensive fireworks from Columbus. Saddled with the 29th-ranked offence and averaging just 2.1 goals per game the Blue Jackets' offence needs to give its defensive unit some help Saturday in order to have a chance against the Red Wings.
