Columbus comes off a 4-3 win over San Jose on Saturday when Boone Jenner scored the game-winner with 12.9 seconds left in regulation. Elvis Merzlikins had 28 saves for the Blue Jackets and he is likely in net tonight. Los Angeles had a stretch where it lost 14 of 16 games before winning five of its past six. However, the Kings are playing their first home game after four games on the road in a span of six days. The Kings are 1-6 their past seven games in the third game of a 3-in-4 days situation. Los Angeles goalie Cam Talbot got off to a great start with his new team this season, but now the Kings have lost nine of his past 10 appearances. The OVER is 4-1-1 in Columbus' past six road games and 7-1-1 on the road versus teams with home winning percentages of .400 or below. Take the Blue Jackets and the OVER.
