Premium Pick

Tampa Bay must be totally demoralized as it is on the verge of being swept by Columbus after finishing the regular season with the best record in the NHL. Sergei Bobrovsky had 30 saves, including 16 in the third period, and the Blue Jackets won Game 3 by a 3-1 score with Matt Duchene, Oliver Bjorkstrand, and Cam Atkinson each scoring a goal. The Lightning did play without its top scorer, suspended Nikita Kucherov, but it probably wouldn't have mattered as Columbus clearly outplayed the Lightning in every aspect. Columbus has won 10 of its last 11 games overall and 10 of its last 15 games have gone UNDER, including the last two. The Blue Jackets have allowed only nine goals their last five games while the UNDER is 13-3 the last 16 meetings at Columbus and 24-9-1 the last 34 meetings overall. Take the Blue Jackets and the UNDER.
