Columbus at Tampa Bay

Columbus is a dog but playing great, including a perfect 2-0 on the road. The Blue Jackets have scored five goals in each of the last two contests and have great balance at #13 in goals scored and allowed. Columbus is 35-17 against the Atlantic division, as well as 12-5 following a win. Free-agent signing Anthony Duclair has been a key addition and the team comes off a 5-4 win at Florida as a dog. Tampa Bay has been outscored on the season despite playing only home games. The Lightning managed one goal in each of the first two contests and gave up four in the third period of a 4-1 loss to Vancouver on Thursday as a -300 favorite. Tampa Bay is 3-8 when its opponent is off a game scoring five or more goals and the visitor has won five of the last seven meetings between these teams. Play Columbus.
