The Columbus Blue Jackets are having a nightmare season. They are so bad, they even lost to the worst team in the league in the last game. Losing 6 straight games and going to New York is not a good scenario for the Blue Jackets. The Islanders are in good form and have won the last 5 against the Jackets. The Jackets simply have no game or confidence to beat anybody in the league and the Islanders will know how to take advantage of it. Placing a bet on the Islanders not to lose with over 4.5 goals looks like a great deal.
