Columbus has come back down to earth losing 2 of 3 while Nashville has had a very bad go of it over their last eight games going 2-6. I come back to Columbus' road woes. They are 8-21 away from home this season, scoring 2.4 goals per game and allowing 3.8. When on the road facing an excellent power play offense like Nashville's (20.3% conversion), the Blue Jackets have won just 15% of the time over the past ten years. Meanwhile, Nashville this season is 16-3 at home vs. poor defensive teams like Columbus (allowing 2.85+ goals per game). The Predators are 15-5 winning by an average score of 3.8 - 2.4 in division games this season. Finally, home favorites off 3+ losses vs. an opponent off a loss are 75-30 (71%) over the last 5 seasons. Two stars on Nashville.
