Ottawa at Boston

Ottawa has scored nine goals the last three games, including a 4-2 win at Buffalo as a dog. They have been an underdog of +240 or greater only two other times this season and won them both, a 7-4 win at Tampa Bay as a +260 dog and a 5-4 win at Vegas as a +240 puppy. Both those victories came in the last month. They head to Boston, a team that needs help to win the division title. It's been a rough week for the Bruins, losing at Tampa Bay on Tuesday (4-0) and Florida (3-2) two nights later as a favorite. They now sit two points behind the first-place Lightning, who will clinch the Atlantic on Saturday with a victory in Carolina. Boston has not played well as a huge dog, squeezing by Montreal (2-1) as a -260 favorite, and losing twice to Buffalo (4-1 and 4-2) as chalk of -260 and -340, both times in the last five weeks. With the Senators 6-1 in their last seven meetings in Boston, back the big dog and play Ottawa.
