Columbus prefers a slower pace on the road, with the UNDER 6-1 in the Blue Jackets last seven road games. They face a Philadelphia team that is also slowing the pace down, focusing more on defense. The Flyers are trying to catch Boston for the Eastern Conference's final wild-card spot, however, they are still #20 in goals scored, and #23 in goals allowed with one of the worst penalty killing units in the league. The Flyers are on a 5-1 run UNDER the total, plus 9-3 UNDER the total at home. The Flyers are also 11-24 after allowing two goals or less in their previous game. One game in which the Flyers let a point slip away was Friday's 4-3 overtime loss at Columbus as they blew a two-goal lead in the third period. The Blue Jackets are 6-1 in the last seven meetings, so jump on the dog and look for a low-scoring defensive battle. Play Columbus and the game UNDER the total.
