columbus blue jackets vs. chicago blackhawks Pick

Columbus comes in playing its sharpest hockey of the season, winning seven of its last eight while averaging a noble 3.13 goals per game. Zach Werenski continues to drive everything from the blueline with a team-leading 57 points, and the offense has stayed balanced, with Adam Fantilli heating up with seven points in his last eight outings. Goaltending has also stabilized, with Jet Greaves producing a .917SV% over his last five starts.

The Blackhawks are scoring only 2.70 goals per game while ranking near the bottom of the league in shots (25), putting a lot of pressure on their goaltenders. Though starting netminder Spencer Knight has a noble .910SV%, he’s allowed 3+ goals in his five of his last six starts. The defense is putting him in vulnerable positions and the lack of offense is burying him, too. Defensively, Chicago is highlighted by league-best 85.5% penalty kill.

Columbus is playing faster, creating more chances, and getting scoring from multiple lines, areas Chicago can’t keep up with right now.

columbus blue jackets vs. chicago blackhawks Prop Bet

Adam Fantilli 1+ Point (-148)

Fantilli has looked dialed in, pocketing four points in his last two games. There’s no better opportunity to continue that the momentum than against a defense allowing north of three goals and bleeding over 30 shots a game in its last three outings.
