Ottawa at New York

Ottawa is playing no defense right now resulting in a 1-4 record over their last five. New York, in contrast, is playing great defense. They have held four of their last five opponents to 2 goals or less. Ottawa has underperformend in the favorite role this year and they are just 13-16 following a hard-fought division game. They have gone UNDER 17 of 31 times on the road while New York is 19-12 UNDER at home, going under in four straight. The Senators are 18-10 UNDER following a division game and 12-2 UNDER this season following two straight division contests. New York is 16-5 UNDER following a low-scoring game (4 total goals or less). We expect Ottawa to be flat here, for the game to go UNDER and for New York to escape with the win.
