On the season Columbus and Philadelphia rank 30th (3.73ga/g) and 27th (3.51ga/g) in goals against per game. Things haven’t improved for them as of late. Over their last 10 games, Columbus is allowing 4.1 ga/g and 34.4 shots against/game. Philly is letting up 4.0 ga/g and 35.3 sa/g over that same period. Wait til you get a load of the numbers the two expected starting goalies are giving up.
