I don't have the stones like John to pick an outright upset here, but the Jackets certainly could win as Florida has been only slightly above average on the road compared to invincible at home. Columbus is coming off back-to-back impressive wins and totaled 11 goals in them. Elvis Merzlikins was torched in his last home game but overall has been much better there than away. We'll take the puckline at even money.

Blue Jackets have played the second game of a back-to-back 5 times this season and they are 2-3 straight up and against the spread. So either they’ve won or they haven’t covered. Elvis Merzlikins should be in net after the backup Korpisalo started last night, and the Jackets have now won two in a row including a big comeback win against the Rangers. We know how dominant the Panthers are at home, but I am not sure why they are favored this much on the road. They are still just 8-6-5 on the season while the Jackets are 12-9-1 at home. Panthers are also playing the front end of a back-to-back so we could get some massive CLV if the Panthers save Bobrovsky for the Rangers tomorrow. Puck line at even money is also a good play but the ML value is just too good. Take the value on the Blue Jackets at home.
