Ottawa at Philadelphia

We have a matinee today in Philly, as the Ottawa Senators bring in their lofty 12-6-3 mark. But in spite of that, they are written off as a solid dog to the sub - .500 Flyers. Philadelphia just can't seem to get things going, as they have yet to win more than two games in a row on the season. Their recent woes are occuring in front of the net as they have allowed 18 to trickle through in their last five games at 3.6 per contest. That opens the door for a live dog here in Ottawa, winners of five of their last six, allowing just 9 goals in the process at 1.5 per contest. The Flyers' inconsistent season has them now at 1-5  when following a win in their last six. Back the dog in this one and go with Ottawa.
