Columbus +156 over Minnesota
7:07 PM EST. OT included. The Blue Jackets are 2-2, but from what we’ve seen this season, they have a much different vibe than in years past. There is no getting past the tragic loss of Johnny Gaudreau, but Columbus has come out firing and appears to be playing with purpose. The Jackets last beat a better-than-you-might-think Buffalo side on Thursday night, and they outshot the defending Stanley Cup champion Panthers on Tuesday night 38-22 in a very emotional affair that saw both teams let 13 seconds run off the clock to start the game in honor of Johnny Hockey.
Meanwhile, the Wild have yet to lose in regulation, going 2-0-2, and they’ve already knocked off the Jackets once this year on opening night. They have been off since Tuesday when they last beat the Blues 4-1. From an analytics perspective, the Wild are in the bottom tier of the league, ranking 27th in puck possession, while the Jackets are perhaps fittingly ranked 13th. With the Wild picking up points in all four games and the Jackets being, well, the Jackets, Minnesota is spotting an inflated price here on the road. Overlay.
