Columbus -½ +200 over SAN JOSE

10:35 PM EST. Regulation only. The Blue Jackets are battered and beaten up, but they are 2-0 on this California road trip after wins in both Los Angeles and Anaheim. The last game they lost was at home to these Sharks, which should ensure they are not flat tonight. The Sharks are a fine enough squad, but they don't have anybody that can stop the puck with any consistency. Meanwhile, the Jackets' Elvis Merzlikins has been solid by stopping 72 of 77 shots on this West Coast run. The Sharkies also return home from a tough five-game trip to face a non-rival, Eastern Conference foe with a much more important game on deck Saturday when Dallas comes in. If the Sharks are going to be flat in one of their next two games after a trip, this is the more likely one for that to occur in.
