Columbus at Detroit

Two of the worst offenses in the NHL lock horns tonight. Columbus is #29 in goals scored (2.48 pg), 0-for-20 on the power play in its past six contests. They are a defensive-first team that is #14 in goals allowed, and top 10 in shots allowed. Columbus comes off an impressive 3-0 victory over the Washington Capitals, part of a 12-7-1 run UNDER the total. Detroit is punchless on offense, last in goals scored (2.17 pg), and #29 in shots on goal. They've also scored 30 goals the last 15 contests. The UNDER is 23-9-1 when they clash in this building and this shapes up as a defensive duel. Back the UNDER.
