Ottawa has lost five of its past seven games, including 4-1 to Pittsburgh on Friday night and now the Senators have to play a back-to-back and Anton Forsberg is expected in net after Cam Talbot allowed four goals against the Penguins. Forsberg allowed seven goals his last start against Colorado last Saturday and he is 8-9-2 on the season with a 3.25 goals-against average. Winnipeg has won seven of 10 although the Jets will attempt to break a two-game losing streak after being defeated by Toronto 4-1 on Thursday night. Winnipeg won the first meeting 5-1 in December and it is 14-6 playing with one day of rest. Ottawa is 16-41 versus teams with .600 or higher winning percentages and 19-49 overall playing on no rest. The Senators have gone OVER four of seven and they have allowed 17 goals their past four games and with Forsberg it will be more of the same. Take the Jets and the OVER.
