The Redwings dominated the Blue Jackets in game one of the series on their way to a 4-1 verdict. It certainly wouldn't be anything new if the Wings got a bit complacent for game two. Remember last year they beat Dallas 4-1 in game one and later in the series as a -266 favorite went down! You can also go back to ‘05-‘06 vs. Edmonton where they dominated, and then lost a pair at home as a -239, and -257 favorite, so this game isn't the slam dunk it might look like. The Blue Jackets have roared back after allowing three goals or more with an 11-5 mark, and also they are 7-2 after scoring two goals or less. History shows this it might look like a cakewalk for the Redwings, but it isn't and the odds are too high, so I'll back the Blue Jackets to spring the surprise.
