The Blue Jackets, fresh off their opening game win, will travel to the desert to square of with Phoenix. The Coyotes have yet to find the playoffs under Gretzky, but made a move that started paying dividends last year, and should show up even bigger this year. They acquired Ilya Bryzgalov from Phoenix, and in his 55 games behind the net, he has allowed just 2.44 goals a game. It helped the Coyotes achieve their best finish in four years. Columbus is 8-2-1 in their last 11 vs the West, while Phoenix has played six of seven UNDER vs the Central. I will back this one to also go UNDER the total.
