ASA TOP PLAY ON 10* Columbus Blue Jackets Money Line -119 over Nashville Predators at 7 PM ET - From a situational perspective, this one is a fantastic one in terms of how it sets up. The Blue Jackets began this season with back to back losses at Nashville and now finally are getting their shot at revenge. Columbus was a different team earlier this season as that was before the big trade with Winnipeg too. The Blue Jackets were clearly having some team chemistry issues that have improved since the deal with the Jets. After those back to back wins for the Predators to open the season, they have since won just 4 of 13 games! Also, the Preds enter this game off a loss and that is noteworthy because it followed a win and Nashville has yet to have a standalone loss this season. In other words, every time Nashville has had a loss it has begun a streak of at last two in a row. That pattern is very likely to continue here as the Predators have lost 5 of 6 road games this season and just had their most recent games against Dallas cancelled by weather issues. Now the Preds face a Blue Jackets team off back to back to back losses and this is the other side of the equation in terms of what is making a powerful situation. Columbus has gone a perfect 3-0 this season when they have entered a game off back to back losses. Their coach John Tortorella is a very demanding coach and you can bet he is on his team big after any loss but particularly back to back defeats. Sure enough the Jackets have responded each time when in this situation this season and the combined score has been 12 to 7 in those victories. Columbus has scored an average of 3.5 goals per game on home ice this season. Nashville has had one high-scoring road win this season but lost each of its other five away games and scored an average of only 1.6 goals per game in those defeats. Considering all of the above factors, look for a home ice blowout in this one. Take the BLUE JACKETS
