Take Over 6.5 Goals. Ottawa Senators vs Pittsburgh Penguins (Saturday @ 7pm est)
(NHL) Ottawa vs. Pittsburgh,
Total: 6.50 | -130.00 Over
Result: Win
The Pittsburgh Penguins just got it. The visiting Ottawa Senators want it. Something will have to give Saturday when the teams face off. The Penguins ended a three-game losing streak and got the complete-game, rousing win they had been craving Thursday when they knocked off the previously undefeated Colorado Avalanche 4-0. Pittsburgh and goaltender Tristan Jarry not only shut down Colorado's dynamic offense, including snuffing all five Avalanche power plays, but also got strong play throughout the lineup and played the style of game the coaches had prescribed since the season started. Ottawa defenseman Erik Brannstrom got hit by New York's Cal Clutterbuck, seemingly without seeing it coming, in the second period. Brannstrom appeared to be knocked out and hit the back of his head on the ice. He left on a stretcher and was taken to a hospital. The Senators indicated that Brannstrom, 24, was alert and had use of his extremities, but it left his teammates shaken. We think the injury to Brannstrom will leave the Sens exposed on the backend, and we just think this will be a shootout in general. Let's roll with the over here.
