Premium Pick

A pair of winless teams meet in Columbus. Toronto is rebuilding under new coach Mike Babcock but has a long way to go, ranked #24 in goals scored and allowed. The Maple Leafs are on an 11-43 run, including 9-42 on the road. James Reimer will be in net and is 0-3-0 against Columbus. Columbus is struggling, too, but is much further along in the rebuilding process. They have talent and even started last season 15-1-1. Columbus center Ryan Johansen is riding a four-game point streak to start the season and has collected six goals in seven career meetings with Toronto. Goalie Sergei Bobrovsky won the Vezina Trophy in 2013, so they have plenty of talented pieces already in place. The Blue Jackets are 5-1 against a team with a winning percentage below .400, plus they are 6-2 in their last eight home games. Play Columbus.
