The Senators are 4-1 straight up versus the Rangers on the road and have a lot of success at MSG. They are also 5-2 straight up versus the Metropolitan Division. They won’t be intimated in this spot as the Rangers try to get the President’s Trophy tonight. The Rangers come into this game off an overtime win to their rival the Islanders, while the Senators come into this game off of two straight wins. This could be a revenge spot/spoiler spot for Ottawa, as they lost their last game to the Rangers 7-2 at home and against Jonathan Quick who will start in goal for the Rangers. Ottawa has nothing to play for and no pressure on them in this game, and are one of the worst teams in the league. However, the Rangers have struggled a bit down the stretch to close out the season as they have not scored more than three goals in their last three games. The Rangers are 10-0 against the spread this season after winning their previous game in overtime. The Senators are 7-2 against the spread in road games after winning their previous game in overtime in the last two seasons. Ottawa is also 28-19 against the spread when they are the underdog. Bad teams have been known to get up in a spot like this and this could be a close game, so the value lies in taking Ottawa on the Puck Line.

Best bet: take Ottawa on the puckline (PL).
