This is a 5* BIG-CHALK PUCK-LINE DESTRUCTION on the Columbus Blue Jackets.

Sometimes we feel it's necessary to completely dissect a game, looking at situational and motivational factors and other times we feel that a more common sense approach is the best way to handicap a contest and that's the case here. In a contest which we feel will be extremely competitive and likely decided late or in the extra periods, we have no issues at all in laying the price for the extra 1.5 goals of insurance on the desperate Blue Jackets, who are 0-6 and the 13th team in league history to not earn a single point through the first six games. Off three straight convincing wins, it's not too hard to imagine the visitors coming in a bit complacent here. It's as simple as that for us. While we obviously wouldn't be completely shocked by an outright victory for the home side, we feel a lot more comfortable with the PUCK-LINE.
