Colorado at Columbus

Colorado fell behind 2-0 in Chicago on Monday night, rallied for a 5-2 win, and now plays the second half of a back-to-back in Columbus. Mackenzie Blackwood started Monday, so Scott Wedgewood is slated to start tonight, per Mile High Sports. My case starts with Wedgewood, who is 1-2-1 in four starts with an .889 save percentage. The Avalanche lead the NHL at 4.3 goals per game and are 3-4 on the road. Columbus is 5-7 and has 29 goals in 12 games, four of them on the power play. The Blue Jackets are 4-3 at home. Their 3-1 loss at Dallas on Saturday came with Jake Oettinger stopping 24 of 25 shots, and they won 30 of the 50 faceoffs. Columbus also beat Philadelphia 4-3 in overtime last Tuesday, with Kent Johnson putting up three points. This is the first meeting between these two clubs this season, so neither has a read on the other. At the plus price, we need Columbus to win less than half the time to show a profit. Take the Blue Jackets on the moneyline tonight, because the plus price comes with a home team facing a goalie who has stopped fewer than nine of every ten shots.
