Dallas at Columbus

November 5, 2026
img7:00 PM Eastern

Washington scored five times after falling behind 4-0 on Tuesday, and Dallas had to hold on for a 6-5 win. Jake Oettinger made 20 saves on 25 shots in that game. The Stars are 9-5-1 and Columbus is 6-7-0. The Blue Jackets arrive off a 7-2 win over Colorado that snapped a two-game skid, with Mathieu Olivier scoring 28 seconds in and Charlie Coyle adding two goals and two assists. Saturday's meeting at Dallas ended 3-1, and Columbus trailed 2-0 after the first period. Jet Greaves stopped 14 of 16 shots. Both goals he allowed came in the first period, the second from Thomas Harley with 0.2 seconds left. Damon Severson scored in the third period to end Oettinger's shutout bid, and I have the game at one goal until Arttu Hyry's empty-netter. Columbus has scored seven in its last game and stayed within a goal of Dallas for most of the last meeting. Our bankroll breaks even if Columbus wins a little more than four games in ten. Take Columbus on the moneyline, where it is 5-3 at home.

0.5 unit on Columbus +117 (moneyline) (risk 0.5 to return 1.09)
