What is tonight’s Blue Jackets moneyline?

See above for the latest Blue Jackets moneyline. Moneyline betting odds are about picking straight-up game-winners at the current odds. You bet on either negative odds for favorites or positive odds for underdogs.

Betting on Columbus as a -135 favorite means a bet of $135 would win $100 plus your bet back if the Blue Jackets win outright. Betting on Columbus as a +200 underdog means a bet of $100 would win $200 plus your bet back if the Blue Jackets win outright.

What is the Blue Jackets puck line?

Puck line betting in the NHL is akin to spread betting in other sports. Since hockey is a low-scoring game, default puck lines are a goal and a half, but alternatives are normally available at different odds.

Bets on the Blue Jackets puck line at -1.5 (+150) only win if Columbus wins by at least two goals. At odds of +150, winning bets would pay $150 plus the bet back for every $100 that you wagered.

As another example, you may find a game where the Blue Jackets are +1.5 (-125) on the puck line. In this case, a bet on Columbus would win if the Blue Jackets lost by a single goal or won by any score. With odds of -125, winning bets pay $100 plus the bet back for every $125 that you bet.

Blue Jackets totals odds

Blue Jackets totals betting is wagering on the Jackets and their opponent combining to score more or less than a line that the oddsmakers set. If that line is 5.5, you could bet that the two teams will combine to score six or more goals or five or fewer goals. The odds are generally -110 or close to it on both sides, factoring in a small vig for the sportsbook. If you’re right at those odds, you’d win $100, plus your bet back, for every $110 that you bet.

Signature Blue Jackets moment

After more than 20 mostly futile years in the league, the Jackets are showing signs of serious potential. No, the Blue Jackets haven’t won a Stanley Cup. In fact, they’ve never even been close to a Stanley Cup Final.

The team posted a 30-plus win season for the first time in 2006, made the Stanley Cup playoffs for the first time in 2009, and won the first playoff game in franchise history in 2014.

Then, in 2019, the Blue Jackets won their first-ever playoff series. They shocked the Presidents’ Trophy-winning Tampa Bay Lightning and became the first team in NHL history to knock the league’s top seed out in the first round of the playoffs. Tampa Bay got its revenge in the first round the very next year and went on to win back-to-back Stanley Cups, but if there has been a franchise signature moment for the Jackets, it was 2019:
