Columbus at Edmonton

Columbus is having a strong season for defensive-oriented coach John Tortorella, third in the NHL in goals allowed. At home they are 10-4 but on the road they are just 7-5 where their offense falls off precipitously, dropping from 3.9 per game to 2.7 per game. The team is on a 15-7-3 run UNDER the total, including 15-5-1 UNDER against the Western Conference. Edmonton has improved its defense this season to #15 in goals allowed, and seventh in penalty killing. Edmonton plays its best defense at home, off a 3-2 win here over Winnipeg as part of a 20-5-1 run UNDER the total at home. Take the home team and the UNDER.
