Friday NHL Pick

The Columbus Blue Jackets are red hot, winning 5 in a row, but so are the Toronto Maple Leafs who have won 4 straight, and that is who the Jackets will be hosting tonight at Nationwide Arena. Columbus will be playing back-to-back games tonight after winning in OT last night against the New York Rangers, so fatigue could be an issue and the Jackets are 1-4 in the last 5 games when playing on zero days’ rest. The Leafs have not played since the Christmas break so they will be well rested and they have one of the best road records in the league at 13-5-1. I like Toronto in this situation.
TONIGHT’S PICK: TORONTO MAPLE LEAFS
