No team has been hotter than the Columbus Blue Jackets over recent weeks as they had recorded nine straight wins before Monday's 4-3 loss in overtime at Madison Square Garden. Tonight they're back on home-ice hosting a Toronto Maple Leafs team that has struggled on the road all season long, and I have no problem backing the Blue Jackets even at this price.

Here are my keys to the game:

1. Goaltending - Sergei Bobrovsky took the loss against the Rangers Monday but had also started all but one of the Blue Jackets nine consecutive wins prior. He's looking good to get back to his winning ways here as he's a dominant 6-1-0 with a 1.86 GAA in his last seven starts against Toronto. The visitors will counter with James Reimer who may only have given up one goal in Saturday's 2-1 shootout loss at Boston, but keep in mind that he is a pathetic 0-11-1 with a 3.49 GAA in his last 13 starts outside of Toronto.

2. Road Woes - Toronto is win-less over its last seven on the road and has won only one game away from home since New Year. The Blue Jackets meanwhile have won four straight in their own building.

3. X-Factor - The Blue Jackets top-scorer Nick Foligno is on a roll, he has tallied three goals and five points over his first three games of the month.

Selection: This is a play on the Columbus Blue Jackets
