The Chicago Blackhawks earned their first win of the season with a 3-1 triumph over Edmonton last time out. Getting that first W must've been a relief and putting them in a letdown spot, making me believe they'll be back to their losing ways here when hosting the Columbus Blue Jackets.

Columbus has won three of its last four and is coming off back-to-back 3-2 wins against Carolina and Dallas. It has outshot each of its last four opponents and should be able to take advantage of a Chicago penalty kill that has allowed five goals on 13 shorthanded situations through the first four games.

8* play on Columbus Blue Jackets.
