This is very important game for home team. They have lost last couple games at home and headcoach is frustrated with performance of his team in last games. Team have sit down together and we can expect more passion this time before home fans from beggining of this game.
Columbus is in very difficult serie of games, when they have 10 games in 18 days. That is huge number of games in short period. Plus they were in leading 4-1 at Edmonton, but lost it 4-6.
I expect more from Getzlaf line in this game, as well as finnish duo Selänne and Koivu. Columbus is usual playing well offensively. Unsual for Anaheim team i would say there will be over 5,5 total goals and because of tiredness of travelling by Columbus home win is expected by me.
Last season they have played couple under goals games, but two high over goals with 7 and 8 total goals. Then each odd over 2,00 is valuable for me today for over 5,5 like couple of bookies are offering at the moment. The match price of 2,25 (Anaheim win) is certainly a value bet with Expekt as well (units for this game 6/10).
