St. Louis at Columbus

St. Louis is a powerhouse defensive team, top 10 in the NHL in goals allowed and in penalty killing. The Blues come off a 3-2 win over Winnipeg last night, part of an 8-3-1 UNDER the total. They will look to slow the pace down as the UNDER is 6-1-1 when the Blues are in the fourth game of a four-in-six days situation. St. Louis is also 6-1 UNDER against a team with a losing record and faces a punchless Columbus offense ranked #20 in goals scored. The Blue Jackets just lost center Brandon Dubinsky, out two more weeks (elbow). Columbus is rested and the Blue Jackets are 4-1-1 UNDER the total playing on two days of rest and this shapes up as a slow, defensive duel. Play this one to finish UNDER.
