The Columbus Blue Jackets travel to Honda Center tonight to take on the Anaheim Ducks. The Blue Jackets are looking for a sweep of the Golden State after beating the Sharks and the Kings. Unfortunately, the host Ducks are going to have something to say about that. It looks as if the Ducks have straightened things out with back-to-back wins, beating Nashville and Florida. Corey Perry finally got the monkey off his back, netting his first goal of the season Wednesday, tying the game with 6 seconds left in the third to send it to overtime. Anaheim’s super star Ryan Getzlaf has been sidelined with appendicitis but had a great skate on Wednesday and I bet he’ll play tonight. Another indicator Getzy is probably playing is the line opened today at -160 and has already climbed to -180. The Ducks are 4-0 in their last 4 against the Eastern Conference and have the edge in defense, penalty killing, face offs, discipline and goal tending.
Tonight’s pick:
