Chicago at Columbus

Columbus has nothing to play for here, right? Wrong. With two more points, they achieve 71 and set a franchise record. Chicago on the other hand has absolutely nothing to play for. They packed it in weeks ago and have won just once in their last seven tries. THeir offense is completely missing as they've averaged 2.3 goals per game over that stretch. The matchup, of course, favors Columbus. They are 10-3 vs. poor defensive teams alloweing 2.85+ goals per game in the second half of the season and 10-5 at home vs. team allowing 29.5+ shots on goal. And, underdogs that have dropped 6 or 7 of their last 8 games in April are just 13-38 (25%) over the last 5 seasons. Jackets here.
