Philadelphia has gotten back into things down the stretch with some strong defense, on a 13-6 run. Philadelphia goalie Michal Neuvirth owns a 2-1-0 mark with a 1.99 goals-against average and .934 save percentage against Columbus. The Flyers are #14 in the NHL in goals allowed and face a strong Columbus defense ranked #11 in goals allowed. But the Columbus offense is just #28 in goals scored, #31 on the power play. Columbus goalie Sergei Bobrovsky has turned aside 63-of-65 shots to record back-to-back victories. The two-time Vezina Trophy recipient has tormented the Flyers since being traded from the club in 2012, posting a 9-2-0 mark with two shutouts and a 1.79 goals-against average in 11 career encounters. The Blue Jackets are 18-6-2 UNDER the total playing their third game in four nights. With the last five meetings between these teams going UNDER in this building, look for another defensive duel. Play this one to finish UNDER.
