This is a 5* BIG CHALK CHOKE-OUT on the Columbus Blue Jackets.

Ottawa has won three straight, most recently coming from behind in the third against Dallas to force OT, which then saw the Sens pot the extra marker in the extra frame. With two nights off before a home game against Florida, we think Ottawa has a predictable letdown here. And that makes the Blue Jackets well worth the price of admission in this spot in our opinion. The Blue Jackets come in on top form with six straight wins and they're out to avenge an earlier 5-4 setback in Ottawa in late December. And with a tough road trip starting in Boston on Monday, tonight's contest takes on added importance for the home side as well. Note as well that Ottawa is a horrible 17-26 (-3.8 units) when playing on back-to-back days, while Columbus is 20-13 (+3 units) against clubs with losing records. Lay the price with confidence, play on the BLUE JACKETS.
