AAA's 3-GM TUE NIGHT *ICE-PAK* (26-17 +$6,057 NHL THIS YEAR!)
(NHL) Carolina vs. Columbus,
Money Line: -129.00 Columbus (Home)
Result: Loss
This is an 8* play on the Columbus Blue Jackets.

As I've written many times in the past: desperation breeds motivation and I think the home side comes to play today, in my opinion this is the very definition of great line value. Carolina went 0-6 to open the year but has since won two straight, a 3-0 home win over Arizona on Saturday before then beating the Kings 3-2 a night later. Suffice it to say, I think the team has a letdown here now that it's away from friendly confines. Despite getting a few players back, note that Carolina hasn't scored more than three goals in a game. Goaltender Cam Ward was 0-3-1 with a 3.95 GAA before stopping 55 of 57 vs. the Γ’β‚¬ΛœYotes and Kings. This is the perfect opponent for the the Blue Jackets to get untracked against, Carolina is 0-5-1 on the road, while Ward is an atrocious 0-2-0 with a 4.46 GAA in three starts at Columbus. The Blue Jackets have dropped two straight after Saturday's 3-2 defeat at New Jersey. Note though that the Blue Jackets were 0 for 11 with the man advantage over their first five games, but have gone 9 for 25 in the last six. I jumped on this line at -129 and its since gone up quite a bit, regardless, I think this is a great situational play on COLUMBUS.
