Columbus at Florida

Columbus had a big win over Tampa Bay, but then lost a tough 2-1 decision at Washington although Elvis Merzlikins stopped 25 of 27 shots and improved his goals-against average to 2.86 with a .905 save percentage this season. He had 27 saves against the Lightning and he is likely in net tonight for the Blue Jackets. Florida is 5-4-1 and second-to-last in the Atlantic Division and it comes off a 5-2 loss at Chicago with Anthony Stolarz taking the loss. Sergei Bobrovsky is probable for this game and he is 4-3-1. Both teams have had trouble scoring and Florida is No. 25 with 2.60 goals per game. The Panthers are 1-6 their past seven games playing with one day of rest and 1-4 after scoring two or fewer goals their previous game. Take the Blue Jackets as a Max Play.
