New Jersey at Ottawa

The Ottawa Senators are a favorite, but are 6-15 against the Metropolitan Division. Ottawa has plenty of holes, ranking #26 in goals scored, #19 on the power play, #14 in goals allowed and #17 in penalty killing. Ottawa lost its first-line left winger and third-leading scorer when Mike Hoffman was suspended by the league for two games Friday. He has nine goals and 21 points in 28 games. New Jersey is in town, a defensive-oriented team that likes to slow the pace down. The Devils went 3-0-0 versus Ottawa the last three meetings while outscoring the Senators 14-7. New Jersey has won its last three games at Canadian Tire Centre, too, and is on a 6-2-1 run against the Senators. The wagering value is on the visitors to pull the upset or lose by one goal.
