Premium Pick

Chicago is a powerhouse team everywhere. They are #5 in goals scored, and #2 in goals allowed, including tops in killing penalties. And they are getting healthier. The Blackhawks are set to get star defenseman Duncan Keith back from an illness Saturday night. Chicago's Patrick Sharp, who has a goal and an assist in five games since returning from a lower-body injury, has 19 goals and 12 assists in his last 24 contests against Columbus. Chicago is 6-1 on the road and 47-21 against a team with a losing record. That great defense is why Chicago is on a 6-2-4 run UNDER the total, plus 5-0-3 UNDER on the road. Columbus has a losing home record and is #24 in goals scored and #28 in goals allowed. The Blue Jackets are on a 4-9 run at home as well as a 7-3 run UNDER the total. Chicago is a sizzling 21-5 against Columbus, including 16-5 at this venue. Play the Chicago Blackhawks and take the UNDER.
