Ottawa at New Jersey

This will be a good test for some fast starting teams, as the Ottawa Senators bring their 5-1 mark into new Jersey to square off with the 6-2 Devils. While the overall record looks great, it has all been generated in games that have ended in regulation. Ottawa has really struggled in close games, and are 1-4 in over time games. This game is expected to play close, and the last 3 New Jersey wins have all come by a single goal. Ottawa has some serious injury issues for tonight as they will take the ice without two of their top scoring forwards, Bobby Ryan and Kyle Turris. Zack Smith and Chris Wideman also may be unavailable. That should be enough to turn te tide in favor of the Devils for this one, and my play here is on New Jersey.
