Columbus is hungry to break a losing skid. They rank #8 in the NHL on the power play and are a better road team (14-15-2) than at home. They face a weak New Jersey team that is #27 in goals scored. The Devils recently dealt away veteran stars Jaromir Jagr and Marek Zidlicky. The Devils are 2-5 when their opponent allows five goals or more in their previous game. A bright spot for Columbus this week was the return of Sergei Bobrovsky, who made 28 saves in his first action since January 21st after being out with a groin injury. New Jersey is 1-2 its last three home games, including a 3-1 loss to Calgary as a favorite, so grab the live dog and play Columbus.
