This is a 1* Free Play on the Columbus Blue Jackets.

Seems like a good spot to pull the trigger on Columbus. If this was a seven game series, would we take the Blue Jackets over the Penguins? Probably not. However, from a situational stand point this one sets up great for the home side. first off, Pittsburgh won 4-3 in OT over the Jets at home just last night (a game that it led for most of the way, only to then cough up the lead, before tying it late and notching the victory in the extra frame). Clearly the Pens are going to be tired tonight in the second game of the back-to-back. Columbus has had a night off after crushing the Leafs 5-2 and will be eager to avenge a 4-3 OT loss of its own in Pittsburgh just two weeks ago. All things considered, we think that COLUMBUS offers pretty good value in this spot.
