Chicago at Columbus

The Chicago Blackhawks were a no-show in Boston in their last time out on the ice. They were white-washed by a 3-0 count. One thing you don't want to do is play the defending Stanley Cup Champion Blackhawks after a big loss. Chicago has come back to go 24-9 following a loss of 3 goals or more in their last 33 in this situation. The Blue Jackets certainly aren't playing inspiring hockey right now as they are just 3-14 in their last 17 games. They are also 1-11 in their last 12 vs. the West. They are also the worst team in the NHL when playing their third game in four nights where they are a brutal 52-113-6 in their last 171 in this situation. The Blackhawks have taken five of the last six here, so I’m on Chicago to win this one.
