St. Louis Blues vs. Columbus Blue Jackets Prediction

I’m on the Blue Jackets here. I just think that the Blue Jackets are the better team and St. Louis is on auto fade until they show some signs of life and I don’t know if that’s going to be any time soon. Columbus is back to being a team that’s providing some value right now and I think Columbus snags the win at home in this one. Give me Columbus here.
