    Moneyline Pick: Columbus Blue Jackets I’m leaning Columbus. Florida is the more talented team offensively, and that 7-3 result from the first meeting is hard to ignore.

    Total Pick: Over 5.5 Goals I’m going over 5.5 if that’s the available number. Vancouver has been allowing 3.82 goals per game, and Winnipeg just played a nine-goal contest against Montreal. Neither ... things up after allowing four early goals Tuesday. But I think Vancouver will get a couple, and the Jets should have plenty of opportunities against that Canucks defense. A 4-2 finish gets us there.

    Moneyline Pick: Winnipeg Jets I’m taking Winnipeg. The Jets aren’t a team I’d normally rush to back with a 5-8-3 record, but look at the opponent. Vancouver has won three of 17 games and is giving u ... gainst Montreal, and now it gets a chance to build on that momentum at home. The Canucks can score enough to make things interesting, but I don’t trust them to keep Winnipeg quiet. Give me the Jets.
