Columbus has won four in a row after losing by at least three goals its previous game and that is the situation in this game as the Blue Jackets lost 4-1 to Toronto on Saturday. New Jersey is 0-5 its past five games as a home favorite of -201 or higher and the Devils have lost four of five against a team that scored two or fewer goals its previous game. The Devils have won just seven of 17 home games this season and they have lost three of their past four games overall although they did snap a three-game skid with a 3-2 victory over Detroit on Saturday. New Jersey is 4-1 UNDER its past five home games and Elvis Merzlikins is expected in net for Columbus and he had 32 saves in a 3-2 overtime loss to Washington in his last start on Thursday. New Jersey has scored a total of nine goals its past four games. Take the Blue Jackets and the UNDER.
