Taking Columbus Blue Jackets +105 — an eye-catching number that makes this an intriguing longshot play heading into puck drop. The spread suggests a contest that stays close and tense, with momentum swings deciding the outcome rather than one team running away from the other, so expect a back-and-forth tempo.
Backing Philadelphia Flyers +154 for 4 units — this is the kind of underdog play that can flip a card late in the third. Expect a tight, tense matchup where a single momentum swing decides things and the Flyers can absolutely be the ones to grab it. That +154 line points to Philly as the underdog in game flow terms, so anticipate a conservative structure from them with bursts of offensive pressure and an eye toward set plays and transition chances.
