Columbus at Ottawa

Columbus beat the Senators 4-2 in December in the first meeting this season with Elvis Merzlikins stopping 41 of 43 shots and he is probable for the Blue Jackets tonight. Anton Forsberg is likely to play for the first time since Jan. 11 due to a groin injury and he is 7-8-0 with a 3.55 goals-against average and an .889 save percentage in 16 games for the Senators. Ottawa has gone OVER nine of its past 13 games, including the 5-3 win over Toronto on Friday. The OVER is 22-7-1 in the Senators' past 30 games as favorites and they are 29-11-3 OVER at home overall. Both teams are last in their respective divisions and Ottawa is laying too high a price in this matchup. Play the Blue Jackets and the OVER.
