Columbus Blue Jackets
Moneyline Pick: Blue Jackets -115: B+ Grade

Patrik Laine and the Blue Jackets have battled through injuries all season, currently riding a three-game winning streak as they host a Canucks squad that has lost two of its last three. Vancouver’s top winger remains day-to-day, potentially limiting their scoring threat in a tough road matchup. Historically, Columbus exhibits strong home performances against Western Conference teams, making this -115 line particularly enticing. With both sides in need of points, the Blue Jackets’ recent surge offers a solid return on investment at home. Odds and availability are subject to change.

Over/Under Pick: Over 5.5, (+110) - A

Elias Pettersson looks ready to extend his recent hot streak as the Canucks aim to snap a two-game skid against Columbus, which enters on a one-game losing slide after a promising stretch. With a key Blue Jackets defenseman still sidelined and Vancouver’s forward lines historically producing strong numbers against Eastern Conference opponents, both squads could light the lamp multiple times. As these teams have shown a knack for exchanging goals in their past matchups, this Over pick boasts solid reward potential.

Puckline Pick: Vancouver, -1.5 (-267) - B+

Vancouver’s Elias Pettersson, confirmed active on ESPN’s roster page, will likely spearhead the attack for a Canucks team riding a modest winning streak, while Columbus is trying to rebound from consecutive losses in tight contests. Though the Jackets still boast Johnny Gaudreau in their lineup, they remain hindered by prior injuries to key contributors, potentially widening the offensive gap in this matchup. Historically, Vancouver has posted strong results against similar Eastern Conference opponents, suggesting a favorable chance to cover the puckline in this showdown. Despite carrying a moderate risk, the bet offers a fair return for the more confident bettor. Brace yourself for fireworks, as this one has plenty of goal-scoring potential. Odds and availability are subject to change.
