Boston at Columbus

Boston had no trouble defeating the Blue Jackets Saturday in the first of a home-and-home series and look for more of the same tonight after the Bruins won 5-2 for their fourth straight OVER. The Bruins scored three goals in the third period and had a 42-24 edge in shots and won for the sixth time in seven games and 16th in their past 20. Columbus has lost six straight and has gone OVER its last three games and both meetings with Boston have gone OVER this season. Columbus goalie Elvis Merzlikins has a 3.41 goals-against average and hasn't won in his last seven appearances. Boston has won 20 of 28 on the road and the Bruins are 43-19 playing with one day of rest. The Blue Jackets are 1-6 in the second game of a home-and-home. Make it a Max Play the Bruins, and also take this game to go OVER the total.
