The NHL is in Finland this weekend. The defending Stanley Cup champions take on the Columbus Blue Jackets as part of a two-game set. Last season, the Over hit in each of the two meetings between these two clubs.
Blue Jackets vs. Avalanche is tonight.
The Blue Jackets and Avalanche are going to play each other tonight. The Blue Jacket's defense is one of the worst in the league this season. Elvis Merzlikins is the second worst statistical starting goaltender in hockey this year. Colorado's offense is very good with Nathan MacKinnon, Mikko Rantanen, and Cale Makar. The Avalanche have a good chance to win the game. They are the favorite. Bluejackets are a team that has a lot of firepower between Johnny Gaudreau and Patrik Laine.

Colorado is nearly -300 favorites on the moneyline against the Blue Jackets. The price of –1.5 is not enough risk-for-reward in a neutral site game.
Alexandar Georgiev is slated to start for the Avalanche. He posted a .778 SV% and 2.92 GAA in 33 games last season as a backup in New York. Georgiever should allow a couple of goals and that should be enough to cash the Over.
Seven or more goals have been scored in Columbus’ last nine games.
