This is a 10* TOTAL OF THE MONTH on the UNDER between the Columbus Blue Jackets and the Washington Capitals.

Clearly the Capitals won't want to head back to Columbus in a 2-0 hole after they fell apart in Game 1, losing 4-3 in OT. Blue Jackets' net minder Sergei Bobrovsky's career playoff record is poor, but he's ben sharp this year and he stopped 27 of 30 in the Game 1 victory to move to 37-22-6 with a 2.42 GAA and .921 save percentage this season. The home side went with Philipp Grubauer in Game 1, but it'll go back to veteran Braden Holtby tonight. Holtby didn't have the best year, but he has plenty of experience and won't be phased whatsoever here. Note that Columbus has seen the total go UNDER the number in five of its last seven when playing with two days rest, while Washington has seen the total go UNDER in six of its last ten after allowing four goals or more in its previous contest. After the high-scoring shootout in Game 1, we're expecting a much more defensive battle in Game 2. Play the UNDER.
