Boston at Columbus

I can't see many goals in this one between a pair of weak offensive teams. Boston has struggled all year on offense, a slow team that ranks #21 in goals scored and #19 on the power play. The UNDER is 5-2-1 when the Bruins face the Metropolitan Division. Goalie Tuukka Rask has registered a 1.26 GAA in winning his last three starts against the Blue Jackets. They head to a bad Columbus offense that ranks #24 in goals scored and is off a 5-1 loss to Nashville at home. Columbus is 6-2 UNDER the total against a team with a winning record. When these teams meet the UNDER is 7-2-1 in the last 10 meetings and this too shapes up as a defensive-oriented battle. Play this one UNDER the Total.
