Ottawa at New York

Ottawa is playing its seventh road game over the last 10 contests. They also had to play last night so look for them to play a slow, defensive style. The Ottawa Senators have relied on strong goaltending during a hot spell that has kept them alive in the Eastern Conference playoff race, off a 5-2 win at Montreal. They improved to 9-1-1 in their last 11 games, nine of which were anchored by Andrew Hammond, who is 8-0-1 with a 1.49 goals-against average. Hammond is the fourth goalie in NHL history and first since 1938 to allow two or fewer goals in each of his first nine career starts. Ottawa is 6-2-1 UNDER the total on the road and 10-4-2 UNDER on no rest. The NY Islanders are 8-3 UNDER in the fourth game of a four-in-six days situation. Ottawa is 24-5-1 UNDER the total against the Metropolitan Division and when these teams clash the UNDER is 4-0. Take the UNDER in this one.
