Ottawa at New York

Ottawa is close to breaking out of this recent skid, off a pair of 2-1 losses. They are focusing on slowing the pace down, and playing defense. One of those defeats was two games ago, holding this high-scoring Islanders' offense in check. Senators' top goalie Craig Anderson made 22 saves against the Islanders Saturday and gets the nod tonight. The New York Islanders are on a nice run, but this team is still poor defensively, at #24 in goals allowed, and #20 in penalty killing. Ottawa has had their number, on a 43-23-6 run against the Islanders, including 24-11-3 at New York. With the UNDER 9-3 when they clash, back the dog in a slow paced defensive game. Play Ottawa and the UNDER.
