This is a 5* play on CBJ + 1.5.
The Blue Jackets owned the best record in the NHL for a long stretch this season, but after slumping at the end of the year they find themselves playing on the road at Pittsburgh in the first round of the playoffs. The Pens will be a big favorite in Game 1, but history tells us that it might not be an easy matchup for Pittsburgh. The key to winning in the playoffs is often goaltending, and Sergei Bobrovsky led the league in GAA and save percentage, and was third in the NHL in wins. The two teams split the season series 2-2, and six of the last eight meetings between the two teams have been decided by just one goal. The defending champion Penguins are banged up heading into the playoffs, with Chris Kunitz and Kris Letang out, and Evgeni Malkin coming off a shoulder injury. I expect Bobrovsky to keep the Jackets in this game, and make it a long series.
Take CBJ.
