Minnesota at Columbus

The Columbus Blue jackets have slowly been getting things turned around over the last two seasons. Right now they are one of the hottest teams in the NHL and playing very strong hockey. The dividend has been a 9-2 run in their last 11 games. Most of the games have played out very tight as 7 of the 11 have gone to overtime, or resolved in a shootout, and they are 6-1 in those seven games. That has fueled the scoring which has otherwise been limited to 50 total goals in the 11 games or just 4.6 a contest. Minnesota has dropped five of their last six, and they have to be feeling it is time to start digging in on the defensive end, and they are off a win where they have followed by going 7-3-1 to the UNDER in their last 11. None of the last seven in this series have topped the total as the UNDER stands at 6-0-1. This one stays UNDER.
