Chicago at Ottawa

The Blackhawks have not been able to get anything going all season, and will not be taking part in the post-season. They are 1-5 in their last 6 games where their opponents have taken charge of the offensive end as they have scored 26 total goals at 4.3 a contest. Ottawa has won 6 of their last 7 games but the defense has been leaky of late as their last 4 opponents have scored 15 times at nearly 4 a contest. They have been winning with offense netting 4.3 goals a game over the same 6 games. These teams have played a lot of high-scoring games, as the over is 10-4-1 in the last 15 meetings. Those 15 games have averaged 7.4 total goals, and I like the over in this one.
