Carolina at Ottawa

Ottawa is the most explosive team in the NHL behind the scoring of Dany Heatley. Carolina has done a good job thus far this season slowing down the Senators but it's only a matter of time until Ottawa goes off. Good teams that are road underdogs of +100 to +200 off a close road loss by 1 goal are just 9-33 vs. winning teams. Also, road teams after allowing 3 goals or more 3 straight games facing an opponent off a blowout win by 4 goals or more are just 16-51 since 1996. At home, Ottawa is winning by an average score of 4.5 to 1.9. Their defense should be able to hold Carolina down enough. And, Carolina is allowing 3.2 per game. Two stars on Ottawa.
