Vancouver Canucks vs Columbus Blue Jackets Prediction
Three of the last four games between the Blue Jackets and Canucks have seen overtime, so you can make a case for the big plus money. The problem is the Blue Jackets are on the end of a back-to-back and they don’t win on the road. This probably isn’t a spot where that changes. The Vancouver Canucks are due for a win on their home ice, and they’ve earned points in five of their last six games. The Canucks are heading in the right direction, and this schedule spot favors them nicely. Give me the Canucks and the PL for max betting value.
