Columbus Blue Jackets vs. Vancouver Canucks Prediction

I’m on the Canucks here. I just wonder if Columbus is going to be one of those super streaky teams this season where you ride them when they’re hot and fade them when they’re cold until they show you otherwise because that’s what this team is right now. Vancouver’s historically been a solid team at home and I think this is a more than winnable spot for the Canucks at a decent price so give me Vancouver here.
