Columbus had a record of 45-30-7 including 26-13 at home this season.

The Blue Jackets have lost three straight and John Tortorella should have his guys extremely motivated as they are tough at home and a very good defensive team.

With the Blue Jackets in a must-win predicament, they expect to put forth their best effort on Monday. Coach John Tortorella was confident enough to say after the latest loss in Washington, "I won't have to say a damn word to them. We'll be back here for Game 7."

In a pickem situation we'll back Columbus here at home on Monday night.
