Pittsburgh at Columbus

The Pittsburgh Penguins have lost 7 of their last 10 games on the season as they head to Ohio to take on the red-hot Columbus Blue Jackets. Pittsburgh now leads the first non-playoff team in the East by a tenuous five points, and I would expect the hot play of the Blue Jackets, and need to get things right, will stimulate an elevated level of play. Columbus has won seven straight games, but despite the streak the Blue Jackets' body of work is going to leave them short of the playoffs. Pittsburgh has had their number, winning seven of the last nine meetings in this series, including five of the last six in Columbus. Play on Pittsburgh.
