Columbus is 3-6 SU in its last 9 games when playing New Jersey. Also, Columbus is 1-5-1 SU in its last 7 games ,when playing on the road against New Jersey. New Jersey is 2-5 SU in its last 7 games. New Jersey allows the second most power plays in the league at 4.4 per game. Also, New Jersey has the second worst penalty killing in the league at 68.2%.
Going to keep this short and sweet. New Jersey is currently a 1.53 favorite after opening at 1.63. Is New Jersey a good enough team to be favored by that much this point in the season? Not quite, however against this current Blue Jackets rosters I believe they are worthy of these odds. Columbus has a total of 8 players out of tonight’s game. They have also lost 5 out of their last 6 games. Throw in the fact they’re on the road against a good enough opponent and it leaves them very vulnerable tonight. Bottom line is we’re taking advantage of a poor Blue Jackets team tonight.
