Schule's NHL BEAST of the EAST - *EARLY START*
(NHL) Columbus vs. Philadelphia, 11/22/2014 2:00 PM, Score: 2 - 4
Money Line: -167.00 Philadelphia (Home)
Result: Win
This is an 8* play on the Philadelphia Flyers.

This will be the second meeting in eight days as it was only last Friday the Blue Jackets sent the Flyers into what has become a four game slump with a 4-3 win here in Philly. The Blue Jackets followed up with another win against the Sharks but have since dropped two straight.

The two mentioned wins are the Blue Jackets only over their last 13 games and they should struggle here against a Flyers team desperate for revenge. Claude Giroux had a goal and one assists in the previous meeting and has been hot lately contributing with nine points in the past seven games.

Columbus is coming straight from a 4-3 loss after shoot outs against the Bruins last night and will likely turn to back-up goalie Curtis McElhinney to tend the net. Sergei Bobrovsky played the full game last night and playing back to back seems to be detrimental to the 26 year old as he's done so twice this season, losing the back-end game each time.

Philly is 5-2 over their seven home games this season and should be worth the price against lowly Blue Jackets team.

Take PHI.
