A pair of powerhouse defensive teams clash here. Columbus focuses on defense first at #12 in goals scored, while the conservative offense is #29 in goals scored and #30 on the power play. Columbus is 8-2 UNDER the total playing on one day of rest, plus 19-6-2 UNDER playing its third game in four nights. San Jose is ninth in the NHL in goals allowed and tops in penalty killing. San Jose is 16-6 UNDER the total against the Eastern Conference, as well as 22-10-4 UNDER versus the Metropolitan Division. All of which means a defensive game with few shots or goals. Play the UNDER.
