The New York Islanders (1-3-0) are set to face the Ottawa Senators (2-3-0) on Saturday afternoon at Canadian Tire Centre in Ottawa. Both of these teams are coming off wins in their last games and will try to earn a second win in a row in this matchup. Before the puck drops in Ottawa, you can keep scrolling to get my Islanders vs Senators prediction for this matinee on the ice.
Odds | Moneyline | Puckline | Total |
|---|---|---|---|
Islanders | +120 | +1.5 (-225) | Over 5.5 |
Senators | -140 | -1.5 (+175) | Under 5.5 |
Player | Prop |
|---|---|
Bo Horvat (NYI) | Anytime Goal Scorer |
Tim Stutzle (OTT) | Anytime Goal Scorer |
Matthew Schaefer (NYI) | Over 0.5 Assists |
Both defenses in this game have not been good so far this year. The Isles are allowing 3.75 goals per game on the season and Ottawa is allowing 5.00 goals per game. Those struggles on defense should lead to this game going over the total in Ottawa. I'll bet the over, as I think there is a higher upside with the total than there is betting on either of these teams to play enough defense to win this one.
