THE PLAY: Total Over 6.5 (-115)
NHL - Anaheim Ducks at Columbus Blue Jackets
Game Thoughts: This will be the 3rd in 4 nights for the Ducks after a Monday game in NYC and with Dostal having started that one we should see Ville Husso in goal for the Ducks along with his 3.17 GAA and .888 SV%. He's allowed 3+ goals in 5 of 7 starts. Anaheim will face a Jackets team that is struggling and have gone 2-9 their last 11 but still averaging 2.82 GPG and 2.93 at home. Ducks own the leagues 3rd best O/U record going 20-12 while the Blue Jackets are an even 16-16 but could be catching a break here with the scheduling disadvantage for the Ducks and goaltending.
The play is Over 6.5 -115
