Columbus is a long way from home and 6-13 playing on two days rest. Columbus is #24th in the NHL in goals scored and #26 in goals allowed. The UNDER is 4-1 when the Blue Jackets play on the road, plus 4-1 UNDER the total against the Western Conference. Arizona is delighted to have a weak team in town as the Coyotes are 4-1 against a team with a losing record. This will be a slow paced, defensive game because generating offense has been an issue all season for Arizona, which had scored three goals or fewer in 14 straight home games before a 4-2 victory over Philadelphia on Monday. But when these teams meet the home team is 6-1 in the last seven meetings, plus the Blue Jackets are 2-6 here in Arizona. Play on Arizona and take the UNDER.
