This is a quick revenge situation for Columbus, which lost 4-1 to the Devils on Tuesday when Cory Schneider stopped 41 shots and Stefan Noesen, Taylor Hall and Jesper Bratt each had a goal and an assist for New Jersey. Sergei Bobrovsky allowed the four goals, but he still is 14-7-1 on the season with a 2.11 goals-against average and .929 save percentage. These teams are battling for first place in the Metropolitan Division and the Blue Jackets have won three of the last four meetings and they are 4-1-1 UNDER the last six meetings. New Jersey has stayed UNDER four straight and six of its last seven games overall and its last four home contests. The Blue Jackets are 7-0 their last seven games after scoring two or fewer goals their previous game. Columbus has won four of its last five in the second game of a home-and-home situation and look for the Blue Jackets to bounce back in this one. Take the Blue Jackets and the UNDER.
