Columbus had gone OVER four straight games before losing 4-1 to Los Angeles on Thursday night with Daniil Tarasov allowing all four goals. Michael Hutchinson is expected back tonight and he had nine saves against the Kings, but he had allowed nine goals in his two appearances before that game. Lukas Dostal is confirmed for Anaheim and he is 3-5-2 with a 3.90 goals-against average and .898 save percentage and he has allowed 18 goals his past four games. The Ducks went OVER their past two games, including a 6-3 loss to the New York Islanders on Wednesday and the only meeting this season went OVER as Anaheim won 5-3 on Jan. 19. The Blue Jackets are 42-20-6 OVER their past 68 games versus teams with losing records and they have gone OVER five straight after scoring two or fewer goals their previous game. Anaheim is 9-3-1 OVER its past 13 home games. Take the OVER as a Max Play.
