T.M. Selection: Stars/Blue Jackets OVER.

I am on the over in the Dallas Stars vs Columbus Blue Jackets game on Monday. The Stars have won 2 games in a row getting back to a winning record after a slow start and their offense really picked up in their game against the Kings. They were able to put 3 goals in the net edging the Kings out in OT 3-2. Tyler Seguin scored a goal in that game and Joe Pavelski got an assist, these are the players that I expect to start heating up for the Stars and get them going on a roll. The Blue Jackets have not been in good shape lately losing 2/3 games by 3+ each and their 1 win during that time came in OT against the Islanders who are struggling out of the gate this season. The defense has not been their for the Jackets in their last few games and I think they are going to struggle to keep Dallas out of the net in this game. Scoring has been a bit of a problem for them as well in their last few but they haven't been shut out this season so they are still finding ways to score. The Stars should shred through their defense here though so I like this game to go over the posted total.

T.M. Prediction: 5-2 Stars.
