Ottawa looks to follow up last game's win over the Lightning with another Saturday at home versus the Lightning.
Ottawa brings a 55-22-9 overall mark (20-8-4 in the division) into this game versus a Tampa Bay team carrying a 44-36-6 record.
The goal judges could be busy in this one, as oddsmakers opened OVER/UNDER betting at 6.5. On the side, the line opened at 340 for the Senators. Ottawa is 55-22-9, while the Lightning are 44-36-6.
John Tortorella's troops hosted Ottawa last game and came away with a 5-2 loss, a game that went over 6.5. Oddsmakers had them as underdogs in that one.
Ottawa won at Tampa Bay last game as favorite against the Lightning, winning 5-2. The total sailed over.
This game is likely to come down to the Senators's execution on offence. They rank 1st in the league in scoring and look to sustain their 3.9 goals per game average against the Lightning's #20-rated defensive unit.
Some trends to consider:
Tampa Bay is 6-3-0 OU in its last 9 games
Tampa Bay is 4-1-0 OU in its last 5 games against Ottawa
Ottawa is 6-1-0 OU in its last 7 at home
Ottawa is 4-1-0 OU in its last 5 games against Tampa Bay
Ottawa is 17-6-0 SU in its last 23 games after scoring 5 to 6 goals
Ottawa is 9-4-0 OU in its last 13 games
