Ottawa has been reduced to the spoiler role as it won't make the playoffs and the Senators come off two overtime losses, including 3-2 to Carolina on Tuesday night. Cam Talbot is expected in net after Leevi Merilainen stopped 34 shots against the Hurricanes in his first NHL start. However, the Senators could go to the rookie again as they are essentially out of the postseason picture and could go with the hot hand against Florida, which is fighting for a wild-card spot. Ottawa won the last meeting 5-2 on March 27 and it has won 12 of 17 against the Atlantic Division. The road team has won seven of the past 10 meetings. Alex Lyon is 7-3-1 with a 3.04 GAA for the Panthers and has allowed a total of five goals his past four games after giving up five against Philadelphia on March 21. Florida has not gone OVER its past six games and the posted totals still listed at O/U 7. Take Ottawa on the moneyline, and take the UNDER as a Max Play
