Columbus Blue Jackets can widen the gap between themselves and St. Louis in the Central Wednesday with a win over the Blues.
Both teams have a chance to improve their showing within the Central division. Columbus is 5-13-0 (3-2-0 in the division), while the Blues sit at 2-12-3 (1-7-2 in the division).
Oddsmakers like the Blue Jackets in this one, opening the line at 140 in favor of Columbus. They are 5-13-0 this season, while the Blues are 2-12-3.
The Blues come off a 3-1 loss against the Predators, a game where they were 280 underdogs. The game went under the closing total of 6.
Columbus's defence was ripped for 8 goals last game by Los Angeles's attack and Gerard Gallant must make adjustments to keep the Blues in check and keep the goal light from burning the neck of his weary goalies as much as possible.
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 Wednesday in order to have a chance against the Blues.
Some trends to consider:
St. Louis is 1-4-3 OU in its last 8 games away against Columbus
St. Louis is 1-4-0 OU in its last 5 games
St. Louis is 2-3-2 OU in its last 7 games against Columbus
St. Louis is 5-10-0 OU in its last 15 away
Columbus is 2-3-2 OU in its last 7 games against St. Louis
Columbus is 4-14-1 OU in its last 19 games
Columbus is 1-4-0 OU in its last 5 at home
Columbus is 1-4-3 OU in its last 8 games at home against St. Louis
Next up:
