Washington at Ottawa

The Caps have a superior record here, but when you consider their road work vs what the Senators have done at home this year, the Senators have the better resume, yet they are listed as a dog here which points to immediate value. The Caps had a 14 game streak without suffering a loss, but dropped their last one in OT and may be a bit flat here, which tends to happen to teams ending long winning streaks as the pressure to keep extending it leads to a strong effort every night. The Senators have been a hot team as well, having a streak of their own at six straight wins at home. Senators have allowed just eight goals in their last six in this building and that leaves them in a valued position to be a live dog here. I'm going with Ottawa in this one.
