It became evident early in the season that the Columbus Blue Jackets are a better team with Sergei Bobrovsky behind the net than they are with Steve Mason between the pipes. Mason posted in front of the net in their last game and allowed 5 goals after the Blue Jackets took a 1-0 lead. Bobrovsky will be back in net tonight, and Columbus is a different team with him there. Colorado won vs. LA in their previous game, but it came with a price as right wing Steve Downie suffered a torn ACL. The Avalanche are 0-4 in their last four vs. the Central, and are 1-5 on a day of rest in their last six. Take Columbus in this one.
