Blue Jackets at Oilers
(NHL) Blue Jackets (CBJ) vs. Oilers (EDM),
Point Spread: 1.50 | -102.00 Blue Jackets (CBJ) (Away)
Result: Loss
Flying a bit under the radar, the Blue Jackets have emerged as no pushover this season and can offer some real value with prices like this on the Pack Line tonight at Edmonton. Though blanked 3-0 at Calgary on Tuesday (the Flames avenging a 5-2 loss last Friday), Columbus had won five of six prior as Dean Evason has been riding hot goalie Elvis Merzlikins. Evason likely goes to Daniil Tarasov in the nets tonight with Elvis slated for tomorrow night in Vancouver, and while Tarasov hasn't started a game in almost three weeks, he's at least well rested. The Jackets scored 11 goals across their preceding two outings in front of the Calgary loss, as Columbus had a six-game points streak before the loss at the Saddledome. The Oilers have not had much of an edge at Rogers Place, where they're only 5-6-1 this season. Play Blue Jackets on Puck Line
