he set-up: After their 3-2 road win in Chicago, I think the Flames take a step back here. The Jackets on the other hand come in as the hungrier team after a 3-2 road loss to the Islanders. Calgary averages 3.37 GPG and they allow 2.78. Columbus averages 3.46 GPG and it allows 3.15.

The pick: Take it for what you will though, but Columbus is 8-2 in its last ten when playing on two days rest and 7-2 in its last nine vs. teams with a winning records, while Calgary is still just 2-11 in its last 13 road games vs. teams with a winning home record. Great price on the home side.

8*
