New Jersey at Ottawa

Ottawa comes home after having taken one in New Jersey. They now need to get this game to maintain the advantage they took. Losing two straight and one at home, would give New Jersey all of the momentum back. New Jersey is playing well but Ottawa better. In the playoffs, the Senators are 5-2, winning on average by a score of 3.6 to 2.4. Their two losses were by one goal each. At home this season they were 27-17 winning by 1.2 goals per game. New Jersey plays great defense, even on the road. But they don't score a lot typically and will have trouble matching Ottawa's offense here.
