The Columbus Blue Jackets appeared to be a team turning the corner, however they have gotten off to a shaky start in 2014. While they appeared to have rid themselves of a long standing issue, playing on the road, they have reverted back to a long standing form of losing on the road at 2-3 to start the season. it is difficult to find value in a team that is now 165-345-15 in their last 525 road games. New Jersey has started strong despite playing six of their first 10 games on the road, as they are 5-3-2 overall. The Devils have taken care of business at home vs. a team with a losing road record as they are 9-3 in their last 12. The Blue Jackets' road woes, have carried over in New Jersey where they own just one win in their last seven played at the Prudential Center. Play the Devils. Also take the UNDER in this one. The Blue Jackets have managed just 2.2 goals per game over their last five games and should struggle to score in this one. The last 16 times Columbus has taken to the road, they are 12-4 to the UNDER. Back the home team and the UNDER here.
