NHL VIP BETTING TIP: Columbus Blue Jackets vs. Florida Panthers

Details:

The Columbus Blue Jackets are the biggest disappointment of the NHL season so far as they are at the rock bottom of the Eastern Conference with a 6-10-1 record. They are pretty solid at home with a 5-6-0 record.

They have won 3 of the last 5 games and are coming off a 6-1 loss to the Detroit red Wings.

The Blue Jackets have given up 65 goals while scoring 43 for a -22 scoring differential.

Johnny Gaudreau has scored six goals with nine assists for the Blue Jackets. Boone Jenner has six goals and three assists over the last 10 games.

The Florida Panthers are 9th in the East with a 9-7-2 record. They are 4-5-0 on the road and have lost the last two games including a 5-4 shootout loss to the Calgary Flames in the last one.

Matthew Tkachuk has scored seven goals with 17 assists for the Panthers. Brandon Montour has two goals and 11 assists over the last 10 games.

Key facts

• Jack Roslovic, Jakub Voracek, Zach Werenski, Elvis Merzlikins, Jake Bean, Nick Blankenburg, Justin Danforth, Patrik Laine and Adam Boqvist are out for the Blue Jackets
• Anthony Duclair and Aleksander Barkov are out for Florida
• Florida has won 4 of the last 5 against Columbus
• In the last 3 games between these two teams, 32 goals were scored

The Florida Panthers won the President's trophy last season with the sixth best regular season record in NHL history but failed to convert to a Stanley Cup trophy. They are not as good this season but are still a high-scoring team. The Blue Jackets sighed Johnny Gaudreau in the off-season and expected to be much better but here they are at the bottom of the conference. Both teams need to win tonight and the only way they know how to play is attack. In the last three games between these two, 10.6 goals per game are scored and I am suggesting placing a bet on over 6 which was the case in 8 of their last 10 duels.
