Take #12 Senators over Penguins
(NHL) Pittsburgh vs. Ottawa,
Money Line: -110.00 Ottawa (Home)
Result: Win
Ottawa enters this game on a challenging six-game losing streak, returning home following an extensive road trip. Meanwhile, the Penguins are riding a wave of momentum with back-to-back victories, including an impressive 2-1 win over the Hurricanes as an underdog. We like this spot for Ottawa. We expect them to get their first win for their new head coach, Jacques Martin, and to get back into the win column in front of their home crowd. Notably, Ottawa boasts the 12th place in the league for goals per game, averaging an impressive 3.357, while Pittsburgh trails at 26th with a lower scoring average of 2.806 goals per game. Despite the Penguins seeking revenge for a 5-2 defeat at the hands of Ottawa back in late October, we remain optimistic about Ottawa's spot in this matchup, and we are confident that they will rebound and find success, ending their recent winless streak. Take Ottawa -110 over the Penguins.
