Columbus is playing a back-to-back after losing 2-1 at Los Angeles last night and being outshot 33-22. Anaheim comes off of two overtime losses, but it has had two days off, and the Ducks have won five of the last six meetings. Elvis Merzlikins was in net for the Blue Jackets on Saturday, so the Blue Jackets could turn to Jean-Francois Berube, who has started four games this season and has a 3.25 goals-against average. He last played on Feb. 25. Columbus is 9-29 in its last 38 games after allowing two or fewer goals in its previous game and 16-39 overall as a road underdog. Anaheim has won 14 of 20 as a favorite, and it won the only meeting this season with a 2-1 shootout victory in December. Take the Ducks.
