Columbus at Atlanta

Columbus has been playing great hockey since their 1-2 start, as they have now lost just two of their last eight. They come to Atlanta riding a 3-0 shutout win in their last game. Atlanta has been up-and-down this season, winning a couple then dropping a couple - very inconsistent. They have really faltered against the good teams. The Thrashers are a pathetic 10-41 in their last 51 games vs. a team with a winning percentage of greater than .600. And they are the posted favorite here? Those numbers decline to 0-7 at home vs. teams with a road mark of over .600. The Blue Jackets reign supreme in their last 17 vs. the Southeast at 14-3. Columbus wins on the road tonight.
