Money Line Pick for Blue Jackets vs. Maple Leafs

  • Columbus Blue Jackets ML (4 Units)

The Blue Jackets have won three of their last five games, while the Maple Leafs have lost four of their last five games.

They haven’t been as good on special teams, converting over 17 percent of their power play opportunities. The Maple Leafs are one of the worst penalty-killing teams in the league, and they’re not playing well defensively, giving up 11 goals in their last three home games, so expect them to have a hard time slowing down the Blue Jackets.

They’ve struggled on special teams, converting 15 percent of their power play opportunities.
