Mike Babcock's Red Wings look to gain ground on the Blue Jackets in the Central Monday when Detroit visits Nationwide Arena.
Detroit brings an 8-1-0 overall mark (3-0-0 in the division) into this game versus a Columbus team carrying a 2-6-0 record.
Oddsmakers like the Red Wings in this one, opening the line at 185 in favor of Detroit. They are 8-1-0 this season, while the Blue Jackets are 2-6-0. The total is 1-6-1 to the OVER in Blue Jackets games.
Detroit's offence went wild last game, firing 6 goals against Blue Jackets and there will be lots of OVER bettors Monday if fans see that trend continuing. They were favorites in that game.
The Blue Jackets lost to the Red Wings 6-0 as 190 underdogs. That contest went as a push against the closing total.
You can't expect much in the way of offensive fireworks from Columbus. Saddled with the 30th-ranked offence and averaging just 1.9 goals per game the Blue Jackets' offence needs to give its defensive unit some help Monday in order to have a chance against the Red Wings.
Some trends to consider:
Detroit is 1-4-1 OU in its last 6 games
Detroit is 2-9-1 OU in its last 12 games away against Columbus
Detroit is 1-3-1 OU in its last 5 games against Columbus
Detroit is 4-6-2 OU in its last 12 away
Columbus is 4-2-0 SU in its last 6 games after being shutout
Columbus is 1-3-1 OU in its last 5 games against Detroit
Columbus is 2-9-1 OU in its last 12 games at home against Detroit
Columbus is 1-5-1 OU in its last 7 at home
Next up:
Detroit home to Chicago, Thursday, October 27
Columbus home to Nashville, Wednesday, October 26
