Columbus has won three of five, cashing as underdogs of +200, +130, and +195. The defense and goaltending have been the story, with Elvis Merzlikins and Spencer Martin teaming up for a .914 save percentage (10th overall). They've won their only road game, 5-4 at Minnesota as a +195 dog, and are 14-11 off a home loss. The Blue Jackets have also won five of their last six on the road after losing the last game in overtime. Montreal is banged up coming off a 5-2 loss to New Jersey. The defense is 26th in shots on goal allowed and they've lost two of their last three home. Make it a Max Play on Columbus.
