Scouting report

Sprinkle's read:CBJ +1.5 puck line★★★

A dog that keeps it close

Columbus has stayed within a goal in four of their last five, and the puck line pays you for a one-goal loss.

The number

At +1.5 a regulation loss by one still cashes; only a two-goal defeat, empty-netter included, beats it.

The decider

Oettinger is the weaker net by a wide margin right now — stopping about nine of ten, well off his own baseline — so Dallas's side of the scoreboard is the one likely to move.

The context

These two have been playing different games: Dallas's games are track meets, Columbus's are ordinary. This bet is really a question of which pattern holds. Columbus is putting 23.4 shots a game on net and finishing 11.7% of them.

Situational

Neither team is on a back-to-back and both had at least a day off; nothing here is worth adjusting for.

What breaks this

An empty-net goal turns a one-goal loss into two.
