NHL Hockey
2007-10-17 - Dallas Stars at Columbus Blue Jacket
A Sports Betting Pick by Jim Feist

-----------------------------------------------
---------------------------------
The Dallas Stars have stumbled out of the gate this year in the NHL, posting just a 2-4 record through their first six games.
The Stars have struggled to score goals too, especially in their three road games where they have just five goals (1.67 avg).
Meanwhile, the Columbus Blue Jackets are sitting at 2-2 on the young season. The Jackets have won both their home games while dropping both away affairs.
Columbus has yet to allow a goal at home, outscoring the opposition 7-0!!!
The Stars owned this series with the Jackets, going 16-2-1 in their first 19 meetings. However, things have changed of late as Columbus has won four of the last five meetings.
Goalie Pascal Leclaire was red hot, setting a franchise record for longest shutout streak by a goaltender at 156:29 until Colorado's Joe Sakic scored at 6:07 of the first period on Saturday to snap the streak.
Lots of good things happening here for the Blue Jackets and with their recent good success over the Stars we will take the UNDER here on Wednesday as the Stars have struggled on the road and the Jackets have yet to allow a goal at home.
The Pick :
Take Under the goal total
