Ottawa has put itself in a good spot to make the playoffs with a six-game win streak while allowing only 2.33 goals per game. The Senators' latest victory was 4-2 over Toronto on Saturday when Claude Giroux scored a power-play goal to break a 2-all tie in the second period, and Linus Ullmark stopped 21 of 23 shots. The Senators have won six straight as favorites of -110 to -150 and they have won five in a row against teams with losing records. Montreal has lost three of five and it has lost nine of 11 meetings with Ottawa, including four of five at home. The Canadiens have gone UNDER 13 of its past 18 games in March dating to last season and they are 5-2 UNDER their past seven games as underdogs. Ullmark is expected to start again and he is 18-11-3 with a 2.66 goals-against average with three shutouts this season. Take the Senators and the UNDER.
