The Chicago Blackhawks have 99 points in what has become a Stanley Cup caliber season. They have recorded two shutouts in their last three games and play tough every night on the ice. This is a bad Columbus team, and they have proven one thing and that is when they start to lose, they lose in bunches. This season they have lost two straight games eight times since late October, and in each case it became a 3+ game losing streak. So when they start to lose, they don't easily find their way back. The Blackhawks are tough after allowing 2 goals or less in their last game at 21-7 in their last 28. The Blue Jackets are 31-71-1 the last 103 times they have faced a team over .600. I'll go with Chicago here.
