Columbus at Calgary

Last-place Columbus heads north with a near-last place offense at #29 in goals scored, #24 on the power play. They slowed the pace down last night in a 2-1 win at Vancouver, winding up a four-game trip tonight. Calgary isn't a strong offensive team, either at #14 in goals scored, #30 on the power play. The UNDER is 7-2-1 when the Flames are games playing on one day of rest. The Flames ended a three-game skid Wednesday with a 4-1 win over Carolina in a defensive game as they are banged up. Already without Dennis Wideman, the Flames now face the potential absence of defenseman T.J. Brodie, who left early in the second period Wednesday after taking a slap shot off his knee. Brodie averages a team-high 25:08 of ice time and ranks fifth with 25 points. Calgary is 5-2-1 UNDER the total at home and this shapes up as a slow-paced defensive contest. Play this one to finish UNDER.
