So much for home-ice advantage. The Blue Jackets try to shake a 4-game losing skid at Nationwide Arena against the visiting Avalanche.
Columbus brings a 5-17-0 overall mark (3-4-0 in the division) into this game versus a Colorado team carrying an 11-8-3 record.
The Blue Jackets get a huge 180 advantage as a home underdog. Columbus is 5-17-0, while the Avalanche, who are 11-8-3 for the year, need to lay 210 on the money line to take the cash. The total has been opened at 6.5.
The Avalanche come off a 7-3 loss against the Red Wings, a game where they were 170 underdogs. The game went over the closing total of 6.5.
Meanwhile, Columbus comes off a 4-2 loss against the Predators, a game where they were a 145 underdog. The game went as a push against the closing total of 6.
You can't expect much in the way of offensive fireworks from Columbus. Saddled with the 30th-ranked offence and averaging just 1.8 goals per game the Blue Jackets' offence needs to give its defensive unit some help Friday in order to have a chance against the Avalanche.
Some trends to consider:
Colorado is 1-4-0 SU in its last 5 games after scoring 3 to 4 goals
Colorado is 12-4-1 OU in its last 17 games
Colorado is 6-2-0 OU in its last 8 away
Colorado is 5-0-0 OU in its last 5 games against Columbus
Columbus is 5-0-0 OU in its last 5 games against Colorado
Columbus is 6-15-2 OU in its last 23 games
Columbus is 1-5-1 OU in its last 7 at home
Next up:
Colorado home to Vancouver, Sunday, November 27
Columbus at St. Louis, Saturday, November 26
