This game will get one of these teams healthy as they both enter this one riding some bad streaks. The Panthers come into this one at just 1-4-4 in their last nine, while the Blue Jackets are just 1-5-3. Something has to give, and in cases like this it is always better to side with the home team. The Blue Jackets have been the better team so far this season and at home they should be able to turn back the struggling Panthers. Columbus still remains a good 7-4-3 as host, and in the only meeting last season between these clubs they took down the Panthers 3-1 in Florida. I'll go with Columbus to right the ship here vs. the struggling Panthers.
