Maple Leafs vs. Blue Jackets Odds

Game Preview
It has been a damning period in the NHL for the Blue Jackets and Maple Leafs. Columbus will have the home ice advantage this weekend, as they chase a return to winning ways following defeats in their last two. The Blue Jackets have also won just four of their last ten.
Columbus were last in action earlier this week, as they suffered a heavy 5-1 road loss against the Washington Capitals. The Blue Jackets struggled to find their offensive form in that clash, with their only goal being scored in the final frame. However, in home games, they have gone 5-3-1 this term.
Huge questions will be asked of the Toronto Maple Leafs, as they have failed to look anything like a team capable of challenging for a playoff finish this season. Toronto have won just nine of their 22 games, and they have gone 3-5-2 across their last ten.
Like their opponents on Wednesday, the Leafs have also suffered defeats in each of their previous two. One of the most concerning factors surrounding the visitors is the fact that no side in the Eastern Conference have allowed more goals so far this season.
Maple Leafs vs. Blue Jackets Picks
Toronto have been defensively weak throughout the season, and that doesn’t bode well for their chances on the road this week. Therefore, a home victory for Columbus could be the logical play when making Maple Leafs vs. Blue Jackets picks.
