Slumping Blue Jackets visit Canadiens
By Rob Gerein | November 24, 2009
There’s only one game for Hockey Betting fans Tuesday and it features the suddenly slumping Columbus Blue Jackets taking on the Montreal Canadiens at the Bell Centre.
The Blue Jackets (12-7-3), who have been one of the NHL’s best teams this season, have dropped two straight heading into action in Montreal.
The Canadiens (11-11-1) are -130 favorites and the over/under total is 5½ in NHL Odds at Sportingbet.
Columbus has a 4-3 edge over the past seven head-to-head matchups. The teams last squared off on Nov. 7 last season, a 4-3 Blue Jackets win as +150 home underdogs.
The Blue Jackets also picked up a win the last time they faced the Habs in Montreal. On Feb. 23, 2008, the Blue Jackets shut out the Canadiens 3-0.
In their last game Monday, Jared Boll had a goal and an assist for the Blue Jackets in their 7-4 loss to the New York Rangers on Monday night. New York won as -130 home favorites and the score went over the 5.5-goal total.
And Michael Cammalleri scored both goals in the Canadiens’ 3-2 shootout loss to the Detroit Red Wings on Saturday. The Canadiens were +120 underdogs in that game and the score slipped under the 5.5-goal total.
There is a string under trend in recent meetings, as the total has gone under in four of the past five meetings, both overall and in Montreal.
