The Chicago Blackhawks have won five of the seven meetings this season against the Blue Jackets, which includes four straight wins and a victory on Saturday. While the Blackhawks aren't world beaters, they've shown more signs of life this season and have more punch on the offensive side. The Columbus Blue Jackets just can't put together 60 minutes of clean hockey and seem to always find a way to be on the wrong side of the stick. Playing at home hasn't helped much either. Give me the Blackhawks and the cheap price.
