Columbus at Dallas

The Columbus Blue Jackets have been horrible on the road this season, posting a 3-12-2 mark through their 17 travel dates. They started 0-8 on the road and have been doing a better job at 3-6 in their last nine. Dallas owns a home and away wins vs. Columbus this year putting the Blue Jackets in a double-revenge mindset here, so expect their best shot. Dallas’ lofty record was created with a big 11-3 start to the season, but that team has left the building and has been replaced by one that has an elongated 21-game stretch that has seen them fall to mediocrity at 9-12. The Stars have been plagued by the "2s" as they are 9-23 vs. a team that allowed 2 goals or fewer in their previous game and 1-7 s a team that scored 2 or less in their last game. The Jackets are in their money zone, posting a 5-2 mark vs. a team allowing 5+ in their last game. Columbus gets the call.
