Ottawa at Columbus

Ottawa has two losses but both were close 1-goal defeats, one in overtime. They are still better off than the Blue Jackets who are sitting at 4-4. I like how the Senators' defense is playing (allowing just 2.1 goals per game). Meanwhile, Columbus has allowed 3.1 per game overall and 4+ goals in each of their last three. Since last season, the Senators are 13-6 following a game in which they scored fewer than two goals. They are also 11-4 over that span after back-to-back losses. I look for Ottawa to find a way to win this one.
