T.M. Selection: Blue Jackets (10* MONEY-MAKER).

Columbus took two of three from the Lightning in the regular season. The Blue Jackets also knocked out Tampa in the first round last year. The extra time off to heal up and address a few issues has absolutely benefited Columbus, as evidenced by its 3-2 series win over the Toronto Maple Leafs. Tampa is built almost identically to Toronto, however it's now missing both its top defenseman in Hedman and its top scorer in Stamkos as well. I love the depth of the Jackets top four lines and its defense and goaltending is likely better as well. This one has upset written all over it!

T.M. Prediction: 4-2 Jackets.
