Read our full analysis of tonight’s NHL slate.
Ottawa Senators ML (+105)
The Senators are a young, fast, fun-to-watch team. They have been a bit streaky to start the season with already a dominant 3-game winning streak followed by a current 2-game skid. A team on the ascent will typically have growing pains, but that does not change the fact that this one is indeed on the ascent.
Despite being outscored 11-6 in the last 2 games, the Senators have a +4 goal differential. Early on, they have scored the 4th most goals per game in the NHL with 4.17 — which is 1.57 more than the Islanders. The Isles are winless in their last 3 and just gave up a 7-spot. They are vulnerable and this looks to be a good bounce-back spot for Ottawa.
