2 units on Columbus -136 (moneyline) (risk 2 to return 3.47)
Result:
LOSS

Columbus, an 11-19 team, doesn't often find themselves favored. But here there is good reason as Chicago comes to town. The Blackhawks are 12-18 and 5-11 on the road. Away from home they give up 3.6 goals per game. Columbus has won five of six games outscoring opponents during the run 25-9. They have held opponents to 2 goals or less in seven of their last eight games! Not sure what's going on there but we want whatever is in the water they are drinking. As bad as the Blue Jackets have been, they are actually 27-18 L45 vs. teams that average under 27 shots on goal (Chicago averages 26.3). Blue Jackets here.
