*6* SURE SHOT on Boston Bruins.

The Columbus Blue Jackets wrapped up a five-game home-stand with a pair of losses to Boston and Buffalo. The Boston Bruins meanwhile are back home from a successful 4-2-0 road trip, and I like the home-team in this match-up.

Here are my keys to the game:

1. Situational - The Bruins have won six of their last seven in their first game back home following a road trip of seven or more days. The Blue Jackets were shut out in a 4-0 loss to the Sabres Friday and they're 0-4 in their last four games following a home loss of three or more goals and 1-9 in their last 10 games playing on two days rest.

2. Recent Meetings - The Bruins have won nine of the last 11 meetings overall and four of the last five at TD Garden. Boston is 2-0-0 in the season series so far and can complete the sweep tonight.

3. X-Factor - Boston's Brad Marchand is leading the club with a career-high 30 goals this season and he's coming off a 2+1 performance in Saturday's 7-3 win against the Stars.

Selection: This is a play on the Boston Bruins (6*)
