This is an 8* SITUATIONAL DESTRUCTION on the Columbus Blue Jackets.

Desperation breeds motivation, the home side will look to break out of a lengthy losing streak against an equally as inconsistent team; in my opinion, this is the very definition of "great line value." Florida ranks second to last in the NHL in goals and shooting percentage. I think the visitors come in complacent here as well after winning two straight, including 3-2 win over the Sens last time out. The Blue Jackets are on a six game slide, but goaltender Curtis McElhinney made 40 saves in Saturday's hard-fought 2-1 loss to first place Nashville on Saturday. Note, from a situational stand point, this definitely favors the home side as well: this is the opening game of a home and home set for Columbus, playing again in Florida on Thursday, but note that the Panthers are at Detroit tomorrow night. This is a definite look ahead spot as well for the visitors. A great spot wager, lay the short price on the BLUE JACKETS.
