Winnipeg is coming back to earth, getting outscored on the season while riding a 4-10 run. They've given up 16 goals the last three games to drop to #18 in goals surrendered, #28 in shots allowed. Winnipeg had to play last night in a 4-1 loss at Carolina in which they had just 17 shots on net. Winnipeg is 3-9 against winning teams and faces a strong and hot Columbus squad winning five in a row, on a 14-4 run. The Columbus defense is second in goals allowed, top 10 in shots allowed. And they've won the last five games by a 16-3 count. Play Columbus.
