Columbus kanonform, fem raka vinster, bra hemma, Vancouver väldigt ojämna och bara hyfsade borta.

Winnipeg bra form, likaså Toronto - Winnipeg bara sådär hemma, Toronto riktigt bra bort - mest magkänsla, varken mer eller mindre - hemmaplan avgör...

Columbus:

Spoiler:

Analysis:
What’s this? The Blue Jackets on a hot streak? Yes, it's five win in a row for the Jackets and a 5-0-2 streak their last seven as they prepare to entertain the Canucks tonight.
What gives? Try GK Sergei Bobrovsky, who has stopped 124 of 128 shots in his last five games for a .969 save percentage. In the one-week period of Monday through Sunday (March 4-10), Bobrovsky was 4-0 with a 0.77 GAA and .972 save percentage. Although four of Columbus’ wins have been at home during the current streak, the good news is that they’re playing their next five games at Nationwide Arena as well. Meanwhile, Vancouver enters on an 0-2-2 slide and has not dropped five straight since Jan. 9-31, 2009. The Canucks have scored two or fewer goals in every contest of this skid, falling 4-2 at Minnesota on Sunday. Cory Schneider has started in goal during Vancouver's last three games and five of the past six, so HC Alain Vigneault might opt to instead go in goal with Roberto Luongo, still on the trading block. Luongo, who hasn't played since March 3 at Calgary, is 0-3-1 with a 2.49 GAA in his last four starts at Nationwide Arena since his lone win at Columbus way back on Oct. 6, 2006. Play Blue Jackets on Money Line

Winnipeg:

Analysis:
This is a 1* free play on the Winnipeg Jets.
The Leafs are 15-10-1 overall this year, and 9-5 on the road. They've lost two straight, and with a date vs. the Penguins at home on Thursday night, I believe get caught looking ahead to that contest. And the reason Toronto will have its mind on Pittsburgh is because it's coming off a frustrating, and demoralizing 5-4 OT loss to the Pens on Saturday. Toronto has looked horrible defensively over its last six outings, giving up a combined 24 goals. Winnipeg plays with revenge here after losing 3-2 at home to the Leafs back on February 7th. The Jets are coming off a tough 3-2 overtime loss at New Jersey on Sunday, and will be eager to atone on their own ice. No rest for the wicked though, as Winnipeg has the Rangers on deck on Thursday, before a game in Toronto on Saturday. Here's a great opportunity for the home side to avenge the earlier loss, against a Leafs team that is getting lit up left, right, and center! Lay the short price.

Minnesota:

Spoiler:

Analysis:
Two of the more pleasant surprises in the Western Conference meet for the third time this season and Minnesota will be out for payback after losing the first two meetings in Anaheim.
If it wasn't for the history making start for Chicago, Anaheim would be sitting comfortable in first place in the Western Conference with its 39 points. The Ducks are in second place by a wide margin however and at the midway point, they are certainly one of the bigger surprises in the NHL. They are 11-1 at home which has certainly been the catalyst of the strong start and while the road play has been very good as well, this is where they are vulnerable. Anaheim is coming off a three-game homestand and going back its last 10 games, the host is a perfect 10-0 including three losses on the road. Minnesota has quietly put together a fantastic run after an inconsistent start as it is 7-3 over its last 10 games with all of those losses coming on the road. The Wild have put together a 5-0-1 home record over their last six games at Xcel Energy Center including a big 4-2 win over Vancouver on Sunday which was a double-revenge winner after losing to the Canucks twice prior. That win pushed the Wild into a first place tie with Vancouver in the Northwest Division as well. Minnesota will again be out for double-revenge as it has lost both meetings this season to Anaheim but both of those were on the road. The change of venue is in favor of the Wild as they are 8-2 against the moneyline in their last 10 home games against teams averaging 2.85 or more gpg over the last two seasons. Anaheim meanwhile is just 3-16 against the moneyline in its last 19 road games after playing a home game. Play (14) Minnesota Wild
