Result:
WIN

The Blue Jackets had it all going then really fell apart, and behind a hot hand in the net in Mathieu Garon, they have rebounded to win three straight. Garon has allowed just 4 goals in his last three. They need that kind of hot goaltending because the Jackets have really faltered at the offensive end. They have scored 2 goals or less in 11 of their last 14 and unfortunately, the total was 1 or less in half of those 14. The good play in net, combined with a dead offense has led to the Blue Jackets failing to reach the total in eight of their last 10. Looking at a team scoring 1 or less in 50% of their games, and getting superb goaltending, puts the onus on the Blues to score 4 or 5 here to push this one over. The Blues have reached 5 goals in just one of their last 17, and 4 just four times in their last 21. There is strong value here on the UNDER, so I'll go that way in this one.
