Columbus at Minnesota

The Columbus Blue Jackets have been bad for several years, but this is a team that is slowly turning the corner, and have become very competitive night in and night out. The offense has been a big part of that improvement, and this is a team that has scored 3 or more goals in seven of their last 12 contests. Things don't look good  offensively for Minnesota who has been shutout in two straight games. That holds the total down here. But, over the last seven times an NHL team that was shutout in their last two games, and playing as a home favorite in their next game, they have scored 3 or more goals in every one of them. Minnesota also 10-4-1 to the OVER in their last 15 on a day of rest. Play this one OVER the total.
