Columbus has gone UNDER 19 of 32 games this season, and the Blue Jackets won 2-1 on Thursday in the only meeting this season. Cam Atkinson scored on a penalty shot and Sergei Bobrovsky had 30 saves against the Devils. Mackenzie Blackwood stopped 36 shots in his first NHL start for New Jersey, but Keith Kinkaid should be back in goal today, and he has a 2.96 goals-against average with a .903 save percentage. Joonas Korpisalo is expected in goal for Columbus, which is in a back-to-back situation. Columbus has gone UNDER six of its last seven games and has allowed a total of only 10 goals its last six games. New Jersey had scored only four goals in three games before beating Ottawa 5-2 on Friday. The UNDER is 6-1-2 the last nine meetings at New Jersey, and the Blue Jackets are 6-1-2 UNDER their last nine games following a win. Play the UNDER.
