Columbus Blue Jackets DFS SPIN
Johnny Gaudreau picked up a pair of assists in Sunday’s 4-3 overtime win over the Senators. Gaudreau grabbed his first helper on Kent Johnson’s power-play goal early in the first period before setting up Kirill Marchenko for the game-winner 16 seconds into overtime. Gaudreau’s production has increased of late, recording 16 points (four goals, 12 assists) in his last 12 contests. The 29-year-old forward is up to 19 goals and 71 points through 74 games this season.
Toronto Maple Leafs DFS SPIN
Ilya Samsonov allowed two goals on 16 shots in Sunday’s 5-2 loss to the Red Wings. Samsonov entered the game late in the first period following an injury to Matt Murray (concussion). Samsonov would allow a pair of goals to Dylan Larkin, one late in the first and another in the third, en route to the 5-2 loss. The 26-year-old netminder falls to 25-10-4 with a .915 save percentage this season. While there’s been no update on Murray’s status, it seems likely that Samsonov will be back between the pipes Tuesday against the Blue Jackets.

Blue Jackets vs. Maple Leafs NHL BETTING PREDICTION
The road team is 5-2 in the last seven meetings between these two teams and what’s even more impressive is that the Blue Jackets have won 12 out of their last 17 games versus the Maple Leafs in Toronto. With Columbus listed as a +300 moneyline dog and Toronto laying -365, this isn’t a matchup I’d normally look to play. That said, given the Blue Jackets’ success in Toronto and the fact that they’re +300, I think they’re worth a flier tonight.
NHL BETTING PREDICTION: COLUMBUS BLUE JACKETS +300
