Fresh legs, defensive players missing and a second-string goalie all help put me on the Over in this matchup.

Columbus last played on Sunday. The Blue Jackets draw the Avalanche minus their top defensive player, Cale Makar, and starting backup goalie Jonas Johansson. The Avalanche are relying on youthful defensemen with multiple players out.

The Blue Jackets also are missing numerous defensemen because of injuries and sickness. The Avalanche haven't played since Saturday. So they should have fresh legs. Colorado has scored 4 goals in three of its last four games.
