Today's NHL Hockey Picks:

Game: Vancouver at Columbus (7:05 PM Eastern)
Pick: 3 units on Vancouver -105 (moneyline) (risk 3 to win 2.9)
Pick: 3 units on Game Total UNDER 5.5 -130 (risk 3 to win 2.3)

The Columbus Blue Jackets have recovered from a long losing stretch to win their last three, with two of them by shutouts. The fact is that they almost need a shutout to win, as over their last 28 games, they have scored only 59 goals - a long stretch at barely 2 goals per game. The Canucks are off a shutout themselves, and have allowed just 19 goals in their last nine, or just about 2 per game. So can Vancouver get to 3 here in what would appear to be a 3-2 game? They have done so in nine of their last 12. They are also 35-16 in their last 51 vs. a team with a losing record. The Blue Jackets, at less than -110, are considered a home dog here and are 1-7 ATS in their last eight in that situation. Columbus has played to a 41-19-1 mark to the UNDER in their last 61 at home with just one of the last seven in this series played in Columbus exceeding the total. I'll go with Vancouver and the UNDER here.

The Avalanche have exceeded expectations and continue to add to the win column with their third straight win vs. Atlanta. A hot offense which has produced 72 goals in their last 23 games, or over 3 per game, has gotten hotter. The Avalanche has produced 20 scores over their last five games, or four per contest. The Coyotes aren't far behind having produced 45 goals in their last 14, also over 3 per game. So we have a pair of offenses in peak form that are playing to a low total. That is backed further by the teams’ history playing in Colorado where in the last nine meetings seven of the nine have topped the total. I expect more of the same tonight, and will play this one OVER the total.

Results: 1-2
