The Columbus Blue Jackets will travel to Long Island to face the New York Islanders. Two playoff hopefuls battle at the UBS Arena as we continue our NHL odds series and make a Blue Jackets-Islanders prediction and pick.

The Columbus Blue Jackets went into Monday night hoping to snap a pair of 0-5-1 streaks. Not only was that their streak going into the game against the New York Islanders, they were 0-5-1 at UBS Arena all-time.
